Thank you for your thoughtful article and for drawing-out Mike’s perspective in your interview. He and Toyota are great examples for the rest of us.

What an illuminating article and interview!
* I liked the hidden “strengths, values, and beliefs” in the triangle.
* I like the WE-ME model - the best version of me and the best version of we is in there.

Morrison says, “People will interrupt their own work to see if they have a message.” I certainly do this, and it bothers me when I do.
* And the something bigger really resonated with me too.

Thanks much much much for this article. I wonder what Mike thinks about body-mind, and how to get people more physically involved in work, even when it’s a computer-like job. He seems based on other answers that he would be interested in encouraging, physical movement at work, or getting people to do more of if they want.

Thank you,
Best,
