Introduction
Even if we are trying our best, there are ways
  we hinder our Lean implementations. What
  follows is a list of some of the ways we do
this. We may be tempted to read this looking
  for the failings of others, but for maximum
 value we need to look at ourselves. If we can
see what we are unintentionally doing, we can
work to correct. Take a read through and let’s
start getting out of our own way. --Tom Curtis
