The Hall Discipline

Gemba is a tour managers take. Genba is the place the work lives.

This isn’t the Hall of Fame. It’s the Hall Discipline.

The discipline is a practice of perception.

Same trade. Different door.

A Redneck’s Guide to Kaizen

Busted Knuckles and Better Ideas

How to See Waste, Fix Work, and Cut Through Improvement Theater

Your board is green. Your customer is late. Somebody is carrying the difference.

A business parable about a factory with twelve weeks to prove it deserves to keep the work, and the people who stop mistaking their own endurance for capability.

No certification path. No slide deck. No improvement theater.

Nobody had lied about the cart. Nobody had counted it either.

The people are fictional. The problems are not.

Four volumes and the Floor Kit

The Series

Coming soon

If you are new to leadership, or you are not a Lean expert, that is okay. You do not need a certificate or a belt. Just start with Volume I. If your floor is on fire, start with the Field Manual. If you are building the people who will outlast you, start with Give the Sight Away. If it already works on one floor and somebody just asked you for fifty, start with The Thieves of Scale.

  1. Volume I

    Front cover of The Hall Discipline, Volume I — The Doctrine, by Jason Hall

    The Doctrine

    The doctrine. It teaches a leader to see.

    Does the truth survive your arrival?

  2. Volume II

    Front cover of The Hall Discipline Field Manual by Jason Hall

    Field Manual

    The toolbox. What to do about what you see, one card at a time.

    Does anything change by Friday?

  3. Volume III

    Front cover of The Hall Discipline, Volume III — Give the Sight Away, by Jason Hall

    Give the Sight Away

    The succession. How the seeing gets out of your head and into your people.

    Does the seeing survive your departure?

  4. Volume IV

    The Thieves of Scale

    The distance. What happens to the discipline when it spreads past the floor one leader can walk.

    Does any of it survive distance?

The Floor Kit

Print it. Cut it. Take it out there.

The audit, the cards, and the instructions that go with Volume II: Field Manual.

This kit is not reading. Nothing in it works from a desk. Every page in here is either something you fill in standing up, or something you carry in your pocket to the place where the work actually happens.

A card you read is a card you admired. A card with numbers written in the bottom of it is a card you worked.

  • Twenty questions
  • Five domains
  • Thirteen field cards

The Salt

  1. Volume I

    A dash of salt saves years of stupid.

  2. Volume II

    Apply directly to the problem.

  3. Volume III

    Pass the salt.

  4. Volume IV

    Measure by subtraction.

The test

The test of the book is not whether you underline it. The test is whether you walk differently afterward.
