أكفاء ومنافسون/شطار

Explanation:
Lean and mean - smart and keen.
An organization that is lean and mean has no excess or unnecessary elements and is very competitive.
The expression was used by Stacy Jarrett Wagner, managing director of the Center for Workforce Success of the National Association of Manufacturers. She said that manufacturers have to be "lean and mean" to be successful. The phrase stood out because Ms. Jarrett Wagner was focusing on how to attract people into high-paying, highly skilled manufacturing jobs.
