Quick Kick in the Pants

What made the experience of listening to 2 Second Lean the most enjoyable?

Paul, the author, made it fun and easy to listen to. This is a down to earth, no stuffy MBA type of Lean book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

This is an informational book, not a story so there really no character unless you want to say it's Paul Akers himself.

What does Paul A Akers bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He brought the excitement. He truly believes and lives what he writes/speaks. He follows every chapter with a video (go to his website).

What insight do you think you’ll apply from 2 Second Lean?

There are so many different points but I guess I'll start in the bathroom. Read/listen to the book and you'll understand.

Any additional comments?

Paul is very generous by uploading numerous videos and documents on his website to help any who wants to go lean to start their journey. He even gives out his personal email if you want to ask him a question directly. Yes, this may also be viewed as an elaborate marketing campaign for his company, Fast Cap; however, he is living what he is preaching and what better way to show that he is doing so than to bring you into his world. I would recommend this book if you are looking for a quick kick in the pants way to approach lean. Great book.

It gave plenty of real world examples in such an entertaining way. Most people roll their eyes when management announces that they want to kick off a an initiative like Lean. Have them listen to this book first and they'll be chomping at the bit to get started.
