As I reflect upon the scale of the challenge in attracting strong Gen-Y leaders to the sector, I recall my daughter's primary school was named after the Japanese philosophy of Kaizen: the relentless pursuit of excellence through small but continuous acts of improvement.
The thinking clearly has its merit. So much so that a friend told me recently that the approach has come to the attention of some in the pharmaceutical industry as a means of improving sales.
So, it got me thinking. What if the not-for-profit sector were to look further afield and allow their thinking to be challenged in new ways?
What if practitioners of Kaizen were to work with inspiring organizations in our sector to develop an approach fitting the culture and values of our sector?
What added-value would this kind of cross-sector partnership provide to Gen-Y leaders as they cut their teeth as change agents and beyond?
The Kaizen Way
