We know half the plan is wrong, we dont know which half. We have to watch it unfold, detect normal from abnormal right now, and fix it.

Leadership at Toyota
The Why? Technique
At Toyota, the burden of proof is clearly on the subordinate to justify why a proposed action is necessary. Managers in Toyota rarely say Yes easily they usually simply ask Why? 1. Why did things go wrong; what is the root cause? 2. Why do you propose that? A huge difference in determining organizational focus. Each justification is rooted in actual practice, in the results of actual activities. This applies to each and every decision, ensuring true organizational learning at every step.

No problem is problem.
For the system to work, problems must be exposed and dealt with forthrightly. Hiding problems will undermine the system. Authority is generated by taking responsibility for problems, building consensus on their causes, the strategies to solve them, and each of our roles in the plan
