What if real leadership isn't about telling people to "figure it out," but about standing beside them until they can?

In this episode, Jason shares a powerful lesson from Japan, the art of working shoulder to shoulder. At Toyota, leaders don't throw people into the fire; they train through presence, patience, and partnership.

From field mistakes to family moments, Jason reveals how true Lean teaching means Explain, Demonstrate, Guide, Enable not abandon.

If you've ever wanted faster learning, fewer errors, and teams that trust each other, this episode will change how you lead, train, and build.

Listen in and discover why "shoulder to shoulder" may be the most human Lean principle of all.
