I was first introduced to the concept of kaizen by Dr. Bob in 1988 on his first visit to the UK. Without doubt the teachings of Dr. Bob which underpinned the practices of gradual, unending improvements that can be introduced in to any organizational culture had a profound effect on me.
For the past 15 years it has become a way of life and has influenced my way of working, providing sound practical methods that are appropriate not only at work but at home. For the past ten years I have worked closely with Dr. Bob introducing his teaching to an increasingly wide audience from British Local Government Departments, Voluntary Sector Agencies, Private Sector Companies, and Arts and Theatrical Organizations. Observing from the sidelines the impact of kaizen principles on the audience but more importantly perhaps, the feedback from delegates attending the Maurer programmes who consistently referred to the impact that the programme had on not only their workplace environment but also on their social environment and of course the fact that many repeat, attend year on year to have the message reinforced and to speak positively about their experiences.
In my 30 years of non-profit management experience, I have heard many speakers on the topic of leadership and attended numerous seminars on the subject. Bob Maurer is the best in terms of both theoretical underpinning and practical application. I found his thoughts on kaizen to ring true both for my personal life and for Habitat for Humanity as an organization. I expect Dr. Maurer’s ideas to have a profound impact on people, businesses, and organizations.
