"You can’t learn from others if you’ve already convinced yourself that you have all the answers."

In Ron Pereira's blog, "Ego: The Quiet Enemy of Leadership", he shares a personal experience with ego, how it does not work with a continuous improvement culture and leadership, & a question to ask yourself: "Is this really about the issue, or is my ego getting involved?"

If this topic resonates with you, save it, bookmark it, and share it with your colleagues!

“If you want to cut the amount of sick days you have in half, improve the quality of sleep of the people who work there.”

In this new episode of the Gemba Academy Podcast, Ron Pereira welcomes Tim Thomas to the show, a former Australian Special Forces soldier turned sleep specialist, to discuss why leaders in a state of fatigue lose the bandwidth to lead well, how to build practical sleep habits that improve everything else, how measuring sleep quality could change the way companies define success, and much more!

Could better sleep improve leadership, productivity, and even attendance? Tune in to hear what organizations may be overlooking.

One thing we've noticed while reading "Who's Your Ricky?" nominations...

The people being recognized aren't always managers or executives.

Many are coworkers.
Teammates.
People who simply take the time to help others.

The common thread?
They make work better for everyone around them.

Sometimes leadership looks like coaching someone through a problem.
Sometimes it looks like sharing knowledge.
And sometimes it looks like stepping in before anyone asks for help.

Who has done that for you?
We'd love to hear their story!

🏆 One nominee will receive complimentary access to Gemba Academy's Lean Leader Certification (a $4,495 value) because people who invest in others deserve to be recognized, too.

Sometimes the best thing that happens all day… is your perspective.

In his latest blog, Ron Pereira shares a personal story that began on the side of I-635 and became a powerful reminder that joy, gratitude, and perspective aren't found in perfect circumstances; they're often discovered in the middle of imperfect ones.

If you've been moving from one challenge to the next, this is a reminder worth reading.

“Connect before you correct.”

A good plan for change is only part of the equation. How you bring people along matters just as much.

In the latest Gemba Academy Podcast, Ron talks with Royden Johnson and Luc van Merrienboer about leading change across cultures, responding to resistance, and keeping people’s dignity intact.

From 5S and digital transformation to influencing strategies and the realities of the shop floor, they share practical insights for anyone leading continuous improvement.

Sometimes progress begins when a leader stops pushing and starts listening.
