Here is a question from a Lean Blog reader:
I am an OE Consultant and I am currently working with an organization to help them improve and “upgrade” their current leadership development processes.

I would love to identify any best practices where companies, like Toyota, have incorporated Lean Sigma in their HR/OD processes.

If you don’t give an employee the right experience before they are hired, what kind of notions do you think they might come into the company with?
