An average can tell you a lot. But it might not tell you the whole story.

In Lean and continuous improvement, looking beyond the average can reveal process variation, patterns, and improvement opportunities hiding underneath the surface.

In The Trouble With Averages, John Knotts explores why understanding your data more deeply can lead to better problem-solving and better decisions.

"You can’t learn from others if you’ve already convinced yourself that you have all the answers."

In Ron Pereira's blog, "Ego: The Quiet Enemy of Leadership", he shares a personal experience with ego, how it does not work with a continuous improvement culture and leadership, & a question to ask yourself: "Is this really about the issue, or is my ego getting involved?"

If this topic resonates with you, save it, bookmark it, and share it with your colleagues!

“If you want to cut the amount of sick days you have in half, improve the quality of sleep of the people who work there.”

In this new episode of the Gemba Academy Podcast, Ron Pereira welcomes Tim Thomas to the show, a former Australian Special Forces soldier turned sleep specialist, to discuss why leaders in a state of fatigue lose the bandwidth to lead well, how to build practical sleep habits that improve everything else, how measuring sleep quality could change the way companies define success, and much more!

Could better sleep improve leadership, productivity, and even attendance? Tune in to hear what organizations may be overlooking.
