1 Japanese Business Concept Can Improve Your Marriage
How KAIZEN could improve your Relationship
What is Kaizen?
Kai means “Change or revision” and Zen means “for the good or better”.
The business world (specifically, Toyota in 1951, then others) captured the term and expanded the meaning from changing for the better, to continuous improvement. They used the term to encompass their new vision for the company. Ultimately, they wanted to better their operations for making cars and other items.
Some of the main ideas of kaizen in the workplace include:
- Better teamwork
- Greater efficiency
- More engagement between employers and employees
- A Daily process and system of improvement
To me, those sound like ideas that could be beneficial to our relationships.
So, How can we apply this idea of Kaizen to our marriages?
