‘Human resources in a Lean organization is the responsibility of all management and not a function.  Since human resources are the most important resource of an organization it is important that all manager feel accountable for them.’ 

–Kris Box

As Ted mentioned I spent the last week participating with as well as training a group of leaders from our health plan Division.  It was a fun week and exciting to to me how each time we do another training it seems to become more effective, sophisticated, and system not tool driven.  For the first three and a half days of the week we focused on technical training in such areas as steady flow, leveling, pull systems and quality assurance.  During the last part of the final day we devoted the afternoon to talk about People systems, which was taught by our Sensei.  It was a fascinating discussion about how the People systems of Lean organization are far different then those in a traditional organization.  Not unexpected the discussion quickly moved to the role of Human Resource functions in a Lean organization and I stole the above quote from this discussion.
