In this episode of the Shingo Principles Podcast, we hear from Peter Hines, author and Shingo Faculty Fellow, as he shares his insights on, "Culture: The Heart of the Shingo Model."

Professor Hines believes that at the heart of the best organizations is their culture, so long as team members are led with humility and everyone respects every individual. In this session, he will explore organizational culture and then challenge whether people can lead with humility and respect individuals without having to manage the "people value stream" as much as the "product value stream." 

Key take-aways from this podcast include:

• The definition of "people value stream"
• Why traditional Lean often suffers from sustainability issues
• How to develop meaning for people
• How to listen to the pull of the voice of the team member
• How to develop flow for people  
• The implications for leaders
