Lean This Out, Be Lean, Lean Thinking

Lean thinking is a recognized process methodology, based on how Toyota does business. It’s also another disconnecting buzzword middle managers use. They probably haven’t even read the Wikipedia page for what lean thinking is. It’s often used as a euphemism for getting rid of or reducing something, like the number of slides in a presentation or the number of staff on a team. So let’s say something more specific instead: “Can we make this more concise/get this down to 200 words/reduce the number of people on the team to five.” If we can posit that be lean can be interpreted as a discriminatory comment against obese employees, it adds weight (pun intended) to the argument for eradicating this BS phrase from the corporate world. If overweight people get rich suing, and that leads to more disposable income for personal trainers, they can show middle management what it means to be lean.
