This book describes and discusses the whys and hows of 100% employee involvement in improving everything an organization does, as well as the integral and all-important role of leadership in achieving 100% participation. Given the proven return-on-investment of an effective 100% continual improvement effort in terms of time alone, this presents the only logical, intelligent, and defendable approach. Ideas are presented in such a way as to make it evident that success is possible and that positive results are within reach through the theory and tools presented. This book is for anyone who is currently in a position to impact the future of an organization or anyone who hopes to be in position to lead or support such an effort in the future. This includes not only for-profit business enterprises, but any organization. For many, this approach to performance excellence will require a willingness to re-think their approach both to other people and to the workplace. Once you head down this path, everything changes. The research and concepts in this book are particularly well-suited for the "once burnt, twice shy" crowd who, over the last few decades, have seen an enormous amount of money spent on incomplete "quality solutions": reengineering, Six Sigma, and ISO, to name a few. While all powerful tools, the implementation of them often suffered from a lack of employee involvement and managerial leadership. This book corrects those shortcomings and gives readers all the tools to ensure improvement efforts are effective and sustained.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
