The combination of southern hospitality and a structured recipe for lean operational success has led me to a passion for continuous improvement. I owe this passion and thinking to many mentors or sensei over the years. From the front porch to the board room, these lessons have translated into something a little bit simple but also a little bit unique. There are four key pillars in which this book has been created. Lessons: translating southern flair into improvement Questions: the best teachers ask the best questions Applications: effective lessons must be practiced to be effective Fun: passion translates to loving what you are doing for the right reasons The key lessons in lean include understanding the language of lean that anyone can understand, learning critical thinking elements that all leaders should know in order to successfully lead people and manage processes, creating system thinking and understanding, and learning tools that you can immediately implement at your company to engage your workforce and instantly uncover waste. This book has been designed to take your team on a structured and sustainable journey of improvement, not only as a team. It will also challenge your personal spirit of leadership. By applying these lessons in a fun way, it will inspire the entire team to take your company to a level of excellence.

Treasured for centuries by karate's top masters, the Bubishi is a classic Chinese work on philosophy, strategy, medicine, and technique as they relate to the martial arts. Referred to as the "bible of karate" by famous master Chojun Miyagi, for hundreds of years the Bubishiwas a secret text passed from master to student in China and later in Okinawa. All of karate's legendary masters have studied it, applied its teachings, or copied passages from it. No other classic work has had as dramatic an impact on the shaping and development of karate as the Bubishi. Karate historian and authority Patrick McCarthy spent over ten years researching and studying the Bubishi and the arts associated with it. The first English translation of this remarkable martial arts manual includes numerous explanations and notes. McCarthy's work also includes groundbreaking research on Okinawan and Chinese history, as well as the fighting and healing traditions that developed in those countries, making it a gold mine for researchers and practitioners alike. For the final word on the true origins and spirit of classic Okinawan martial arts, one need look no further. This karate book is one of the best karate training supplements available.

Das Kototama-Prinzip wurde vor vielen Zeitaltern von unseren menschlichen Ahnen perfektioniert. Es ist das Prinzip des menschlichen Lebens in seiner Gesamtheit, das Prinzip, welches die Tätigkeit des Lebens des Universums bestimmt. Es ist das Gesetz der Funktion und Wirkung menschlicher Fähigkeit, ihrer Wandlung, Manifestation und Handlung. Es liegt im Bereich menschlichen Vermögens, Religion, Philosophie, Kunst, Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft, Politik etc. zu schaffen. Diese Manifestationen von Können und Handlungen, aus denen alle Zivilisationen in ihren unzähligen Aspekten entstehen, folgen dem Prinzip und Gesetz des Kototama. Dementsprechend ist es das grundlegende Gesetz oder der Spiegel letztgültiger Beurteilung. Wir Menschen müssen die Richtigkeit oder Falschheit, das Gute und Schlechte der Dinge beurteilen, die wir geschaffen haben. Ohne unsere Reinigung können wir kein abschließendes Urteil fällen. Vor etwa achttausend Jahren wurde das einzig wahre Prinzip für menschliche Wesen verborgen, und die Zivilisation entwickelte sich ohne Kenntnis desselben - bis heute. [...] Zur Rettung aller Menschen - um aus der von uns selbst geschaffenen, höllischen Welt der derzeitigen Zivilisation herauszukommen - müssen wir das Lebensprinzip zurückgewinnen und uns wieder unserer natürlichen, ursprünglichen Menschlichkeit zuwenden. Rettung kommt nicht von irgendwo anders. Wir müssen uns selbst retten, aber wir brauchen den Spiegel, mit dem das getan werden kann. [...]
