When Jack Welch was named “Manager of the Century” by Fortune magazine in 1999, it was still unclear what his legacy was going to be. Yet all the success belied serious problems rumbling underneath the surface. Welch increased profits largely by “financializing” the firm. Innovation languished. Yet perhaps the greatest indictment of Welch is those he chose to carry on his legacy.

During a recent trip to a low-income country, I met a young man whose story may be similar to one many of us have previously heard. Orphaned at a young age, he didn’t finish school and started working as a child. Unfortunately, as he got older, work opportunities in his small hometown ran out, so he had to move to a larger city in search of work. Despite the circumstances he was excited to reach the city, but upon moving, he found that employers wouldn’t hire him without a school diploma.

Nothing frustrates software developers more than working hard on something that never ends up providing value. Whether because of changing priorities, miscommunication among teams, or other blockers, the hidden cost of waste can significantly impact productivity and bottom lines. The challenge lies not just in recognizing the presence of waste but in identifying exactly where resources are being inefficiently utilized.

One of the responsibilities of a leader is to simplify complexity in a way that everyone can relate and make sense. One of the best ways to do is by the use of metaphors.
