Praise for
2 Second Lean
This is the story of Paul Akers personal quest to create a Lean company, complete with his agonizing call to adventure, exploring new possibilities (in Japan, at FastCap and in his life), his path of mistakes and revelations, and eventually achieving the prize - the truth about the heart and soul of Lean. Through photos of Pauls Lean journey, we come to know the person, the process of being Lean, and the principles that change everything. Paul demonstrates the same spirit of adventure that I imagine the engineers at Ford and Toyota must have felt those many years ago a spirit so often lost in modern Lean.
2 Second Lean is a tangible embodiment of the principles. Its fast, effective and delivers tons of value. No consultant-speak or keeper-of-the-faith orthodoxy here, but a deeper, almost spiritual, grasp of being Lean.
This remarkable book stands out among the plethora of Lean books. If youre new to Lean, get this book! If youre a Lean expert, get this book! Either way, it wont disappoint.
~Randall Benson - Lean Consultant and
author of The Quest Effect
This is awesome. Love all the photos. Love the home applications. If all Lean gurus practiced what they preached..hmmmm.
~Holly Duckworth, Ph.D. - Kaiser Aluminum
Vice President of Continuous Improvement
I met Paul Akers of FastCap more than one year ago. Paul personally visited the City of Ferndale and spent time with employees teaching the concepts of Lean.
We have continued Pauls teaching and embrace and use the Lean principles he writes so eloquently about in 2 Second Lean on a daily basis. Each Friday morning we have our Lean roundtable. Lean is such an important part of what government should be and do. The public many times has a distorted opinion of government employees. Our city employees have embraced the concept of constantly seeking out improvements and efficiencies to their job duties.
Im most impressed with how all employees interact and share ideas for improvement. This has brought more of a team atmosphere than has been exhibited in the past. Every person, from the new employee to the long-time veteran, should feel they have value and their ideas can make a difference.
Every city should explore what LEAN can do!
~Gary S. Jensen - Mayor, City of Ferndale, Washington
Learn how to operate with the maximum efficiency while creating a productive and positive environment in all that you do. The excellent examples and analysis in this book are a great primer for anyone seeking successful growth.
~Dr. Nido Qubein - President, High Point University and
Chairman, Great Harvest Bread Co.
Paul Akers has a passion for Lean that is totally infectious. FastCap continues on their Lean journey to continuously improve. Their approach to engaging employees for their ideas is World Class and it shows with everything Paul and his team do.
~Harry W. Kenworthy - Principal & Manager at
Lean Government Center
A great book from Paul Akers - my Lean brother from another mother. Paul shows you that Lean is simple stuff that is fun and really works! 2 Second Lean is a Lean Leadership and Culture story that will help you DO good, FEEL good, and RAISE THE TIDE for your whole organization.
~Karl Wadensten - President Vibco Vibrators and
Radio Talk Show Host Lean Nation on AM790 and
790Business.com
This powerful book takes you into the dynamic world of FastCap without the airfare. Youll discover the powerful improvement community that Paul Akers simplicity, humility and enthusiasm created. As Paul notes - we have it backwards. And when we turn our thinking around, well do things we never imagined possible. Thats why it heartens me to know that Paul teaches his continuous improvement principles to government. Despite his claim that 2 Second Lean is not for MBAs or those who love theory, I recommend improvement experts everywhere read it for a dash of simplicity. This book brings Lean to life.
~Meryl Runion, CSP, author of PowerPhrases and
nine other books on collaborative communication
Everybody tells you how to implement Leanbut Paul reveals the values that make Lean grow from within your people. In my opinion, that is the significant contribution this book makes to the broader base of knowledge. Well done.
~Tony Oliver - Denver, Colorado
Finally! A gloriously interactive book that makes learning about Lean accessible, easy to digest, and FUN! QR Code links to videos and thought-provoking reflection exercises engage you in an awesome reading experience
~Linda Kleineberg - CMO at VIBCO Vibrators
2 Second Lean is GREAT! Paul Akers is an innovator, who totally gets empowerment, culture building, and customer service. You might expect just a well written book that helps you to get Lean quickwell it does that, but the structure of the book itself demonstrates innovation, creativity, and customer/reader focus. You will love it. Todays leaders are innovative, passionate, optimists. With Paul you get all three on steroids.
~Dr. Charles Schwahn,
Author of best seller Total Leaders 2.0
Bright, fun, and smart, 2 Second Lean is Paul Akers recipe for getting continuous improvement going and growing homespun and proofed on the floor of his own company, FastCap. This is the voice and spirit of an authentic American entrepreneur, showing us Lean can be applied anywhere and everywhere and is always spelled P-E-O-P-L-E. Buckle your seat belt. Youre in for a fast, powerful, and inspiring readmade even more so, thanks to the QR Code video links.
~Gwendolyn Galsworth, author of Visual Workplace/
Visual Thinking and Work That Makes Sense
Paul Akers answers the question why in his book 2 Second Lean. Why Lean? Paul gives the reader compelling reasons to embark on the Lean journey. I highly recommend 2 Second Lean to anyone looking for answers to make their company or organization more efficient and more profitable.
As County Executive of Erie County (New York) I introduced Lean Six Sigma four years ago and have transformed a bankrupt county into one of the most financially stable counties in America. Erie County is the largest upstate county in New York and home to the 3rd poorest city in the United States (Buffalo). Our remarkable progress can be attributed 80% to Lean and 20% to Six Sigma.
Lean is a lifetime journey a journey well worth the time and energy it takes to understand and implement. Paul Akers provides just the right push to get you started. Soget started!
~Chris Collins - County Executive, Erie County, New York
Every time I visit FastCap the people motivate me. The Lean culture is contagious. Like most places of employment, it comes down to the staff. If the people are on board and excited, it works.
~Caleb Erickson, Whatcom County Sheriffs Office
