MYLS Newsletter: June, 2013

As I write this, I am facing a bit of a dilemma. I have seen a few red flags popping up in the Lean community, and wanted to address them. But on the flip side, I don’t want to come across as being all reprimandy, especially since what I am seeing is coming from just a few interspersed people. I am afraid, though, that some of the things I have observed will become contagious and spread. So, what I will do instead is just post a few rules that I’d like you to help me enforce. If you see these things going on, please make a point of addressing them.
