Fix the work, and people will win. Ignore the work, and even your best people will burn out.Most operations don't fall apart because workers don't care-they fall apart because the system does. Constant firefighting, rushed changeovers, quality problems, overtime, weekend surprises, and "just this once" exceptions pile up until chaos becomes normal.In Standards That Stick, Lean practitioner Dennis Jarrett shares over 35 years of real-world experience helping factories, plants, and operations build work that people can actually succeed in. From his early days sweeping chimneys to decades of working with Japanese mentors and American manufacturers, Dennis has learned one truth: When the work is designed well, normal people perform like experts.Through powerful shop-floor stories-soot-filled rooftops, yellow lines in Japan, broken robots, overwhelmed plants, and quiet moments of human insight-Dennis shows how simple standards restore flow, reduce stress, and protect the people doing the work.You'll learn how to: Spot the hidden causes of chaos, overtime, burnout, and reworkBuild standards that actually get followed (and stick long term)See waste, overburden, and unevenness the way experts doRedesign processes so people don't need heroics to succeedUse small improvements to unlock big cultural changeLead without blaming, micromanaging, or preachingCreate calm in places where chaos used to be normalThis isn't theory.This isn't a corporate checklist.This is Lean the way it actually works-hands-on, humble, human, and proven on real shop floors.Who this book is for: Plant managers and supervisorsOperations leaders and continuous improvement teamsBusiness owners tired of running in circlesAnyone responsible for people, processes, or performanceAnyone who wants calm, clarity, and consistency back in the workWhether you run a factory, a warehouse, a service operation, a shop, or a crew, Standards That Stick will show you how to design work that supports people-so your team can deliver their best work every day without burning out.If you want better flow, better quality, lower stress, and a team that wins without heroics... this book is where you start.Buy your copy of Standards That Stick today and build the systems your people deserve.
