As Lean Manufacturing consultant I have had many
satisfactions but when the people Break And Move Beyond The Length Of The Chains, it is what I love the most.
“We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future.”
Before to teach about Lean Manufacturing tools, I like to
tell the story about the Chained Elephant , the reason is there are many
organizations that have the Creativity of Employees Chained; they are not able
to propose any new ideas due in the past some managers have told them NO many
times.
However on Kaizen events I try to create the environment
for free creativity and the try- storming , and make the team realize that
the mistake don't exist , it is experience instead.
"If you take a baby elephant, place a
chain around one of its back legs, hook the chain to a stake, and then drive
that stake into the ground to restrain the baby elephant until it's big enough
to fend for itself. When the caretaker removes both the stake and the chain
from the elephant's back leg, the elephant will not venture out beyond the length
of the chain that once restrained him. The story goes on to say that the
elephant has been conditioned to accept residency in a mental prison given to
him by his caretaker."

Your attempt may fail, but never fail to make
an attempt…. & CHOOSE not to accept the false boundaries and limitations
created by the past.
I have also chance the "BrainStorming" , by "TryStorming" , the people and organization must change the mindset , and as
consultant is my duty coaching them to say “yes I will try it” , giving them the
confidence to make the first step , the difference is only on their mind and
they have to choose not to accept the false boundaries and limitation created
by the past.
