GA 635 | Emotions Are Not the Enemy with D. Earl Johnston

Gemba Academy Podcast: Lean Six Sigma · 2026-06-04 · 34 min

Episode notes

Most continuous improvement practitioners are trained to prize logic and treat emotion as noise in the system. D. Earl Johnston spent nine years and thousands of research hours across twelve disciplines discovering that framing is backward. His book, "Choosing Emotions," grew out of a father-daughter moment involving depression, post-it notes, and a single powerful text message. What came out of that work challenges something most leaders have never stopped to question.
