From the Author
A preacher of process who had to face his own chaos.
For over twenty-five years I stood in boardrooms and factory floors of the world’s largest organisations and taught people how to eliminate waste. I spoke fluently in Lean Thinking and Six Sigma. I helped enterprises unlock millions of dollars of hidden productivity.
And then I would go home — where my days had no framework. Where the very waste I hunted in corporations had quietly colonised my personal life. That dissonance became the seed of Master of the Day.
“This book is not written by someone who has mastered the day. It is written by someone who is still mastering it — and has decided to become a living, breathing proof of the philosophy.”
