  • "One of the BEST Lean Books Ever Written"

    “I absolutely LOVED this book! I have so many pages marked that it's about three times bulkier than when I purchased it. While focused on a clinical healthcare setting, it is completely transferrable and applicable to my non-clinical healthcare related setting. I plan to buy one for each member of our operations leadership team. Whether you are new to Lean or have been studying for years, I highly recommend you read this book!”
    Jennifer Mongeau, VP of Clinical Programs (source: Amazon.com)

  • "A perfect gift for every level healthcare manager"

    “It is precise, relatively succinct and bloody apt book in outlining the issues of nowadays healthcare leadership. [ … ] The author Arnout Orelio explains the paradoxes of LEAN in healthcare so frankly, precisely and practically with extremely spot-on examples from the real life. I think the book is a gem that is worth careful reading for everybody in healthcare management in any country of the world. [ … ]”
    Aurelija Juskeviciene, HR Leader (source: Amazon.com)

  • "It made me think how to integrate Lean into my personal development"

    “I loved this part so much:: 'Work methodically on your personal development.' It made me think how to integrate Lean into my personal development and how even to make other use: to develop others.”
    Mohamed Abdel Moemen Mousa, Operational Excellence Consultant

  • A lot of attention for the leadership needed to facilitate improvement."

    “A lot of attention is rightfully paid to leadership that is required to help facilitate improvement. Not only improvement of care processes and their outcomes but also the important component of helping people develop themselves. This development is as much about the medical professional and leader him (or her) self as it is about fellow care workers and team members.”
    From the Foreword by Rutger I.F. van der Waal, dermatologist, MD PhD

  • "Not just another inspiring book, but this book inspires to take action!"

    “Love your vision for healthcare. Even though your main target is medical professionals who recently started a leading role or started their own business, I was able to see something similar in financial services; putting off the fire and running like a headless chicken. Thank you, Arnout for inspiring others to take action.”
    Mindy Borgonje-Ling, Mindset Coach (source: Amazon.de)
