Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart, was famous for telling people that he never had an original idea in his life. He recognized he value of "stealing" good ideas. Even Steve Jobs was quoted for saying "Good artist copy, great artist steal" and then he went on to enable his company to become the first $2 trillion U.S. company!

Obviously there are some rules that are important to know before you steal or leverage value, and we've partnered with Jake Harrell, author and supply-chain professional, to guide us through identifying when it is ok to steal.
Jake is well-versed in operations management, Lean Six Sigma, and continuous improvement, and he is focused on using his expertise toward helping other professionals learn excellence.
This #stealing and #leveraging #hack is only a portion of solutions from his latest book, "Chasing Excellence" which will be available on Amazon on 8/31/2020. If you have a barrier keeping you from excellence, then this book will help you shift your perspective and break through to a solution, rather than focusing your attention on the barrier alone.
