Publisher's summary

Every lean practitioner occasionally wishes for a simple, fun, and quick introduction to lean thinking to give acquaintances, associates, and family members, even to our kids. If lean thinking often entails unlearning a plethora of bad habits, wouldn’t it be better if we learned better thinking habits from the beginning?

Everything I Know About Lean I Learned in First Grade is just that sort of guide. It brings lean back to its original simplicity by showing how lean is alive in a first-grade classroom. The audiobook connects common lean tools to the broader lean journey, shows how to identify and eliminate waste, and aids the listener in seeing lean for what it truly is: a way to create a learning and problem-solving culture.

Made to educate the entire organization on the fundamentals of lean thinking, this is the perfect source to engage all team members at all levels of an organization. Originally self-published in 2008, LEI is proud to reissue this title and make it available to the broader lean community.

A great book for a LEAN beginner

Robert tells about lean practices, and gives examples from real world environment in this book.
This is a great way to learn LEAN for a beginner, because pairing theory with practical examples will make you understand and remember the concept much better.
For me this is the best line book i have listen to. I have the Kindle version as well, and i have read at least three times. Every time i read it i learn something new.

Great Basics Book

I enjoyed a quick and easy read with great reminders of the fundamentals of lean in the workplace. The narrator was a bit robotic so I sped up the book to 1.5. I would definitely listen to again as a good reminder to not overcomplicate things.
