		<description><![CDATA[In my previous post on this subject I suggested lessons from the Egyptian revolution to the world of corporate leadership. Now I do the reverse.

I would like to address the ruling military officers of Egypt and the other leaders who are now finding themselves in the midst of turmoil in the Middle East. They all are confronted with the problem of "managing large scale change." This is not a new thing. Many companies and countries have been through this before. So... here is an open letter to the Generals of Egypt, and to all others to whom it may apply. <a href="http://www.lmmiller.com/blog/2011/02/19/general/beyond-tahrir-square-managing-large-scale-change/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I was at a client and I was explaining some point of lean culture and I used an example from Toyota. The union president who was in attendance stood up and said "I'll tell you one thing, you better not tell us to do anything because Toyota did it. Ten people in the past week have come up to me and told me that we aren't doing anything because Toyota does it." That about sums up the sentiment out there.   <a href="http://www.lmmiller.com/blog/2010/02/11/general/so-what-happened-to-toyota/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
