"The book talks about the powerful concept of Kaizen, which means “continuous improvement"" in Japanese. It mentions Kaizen's focus on making small, gradual changes over time to achieve big improvements, instead of trying to make huge, drastic changes all at once.

At first, the idea of small incremental changes seems counterintuitive because we often want revolutionary, large-scale change. However, the book explains how Kaizen's approach of systematically implementing minor enhancements step-by-step can lead to remarkable progress when done patiently and consistently.

Kaizen originated in Japanese manufacturing but the author believes its teachings can be applied universally - whether you want to improve yourself personally, enhance your organisation as a leader, or just adopt an ongoing mindset of optimisation in daily life.

The book explores the origins, principles and wide-ranging impacts of Kaizen. The author's goal is to highlight the powerful simplicity of Kaizen and how small Steady steps can pave the way for sustainable transformation by avoiding the resistance that often comes with ""big bang"" change efforts.

Ultimately, the book aims to provide a fresh perspective and possibly even a life-changing paradigm shift in how you approach growth and change through the philosophy of continual refinement."
