In a popular Auto Company in India,The shop floor persons are given a White Uniform. While this idea may seem idiotic at first, the idea behind is it that any defect in the machinery or the shop floor processes will be brought to light by any unclean Uniform. This policy of "Bring The Defects To The Surface" is a key principle behind the Quality Revolution of Toyota.
This can be applied to our personal life too. Take for example the process of reducing the clutter at home.You can generally notice that closed cupboards would have more trash hidden in them than the open cupboards. This is just because of "Out Of Sight Out Of Mind" tendency inherent in most of us.As human beings, we are uncomfortable in even in accepting that there is a problem(defect)...let alone acting on a solution.
Be it Money,Work or Relationship It is absolute necessity to develop a mindset of identifying a problem and bringing it to the notice of the affected people. This would make our life & other lives as much easier . As a reputed business leader says, "Fix the Crack the first time you see it...Otherwise you will get used to the crack" !!!
