About this title

Synopsis

The companion follow-up to one of the bestselling Six Sigma books ever published

An alarming number of Six Sigma projects are failing--not because of misuse of Six Sigma's statistical tools but because of internal politics and poor communication between team members and the rest of the organization.

The Rath & Strong's Six Sigma Team Pocket Guide helps team leaders and members reverse this trend, explaining the interpersonal and political skills needed to make each Six Sigma project a success.

Written in the "pocket guide" format that proved so successful with the first Rath &Strong guide, and based on the firm's popular Six Sigma training workshops, this handy reference will show Six Sigma team leaders and members how to:

• Get buy-in and cooperation from all levels of the organization
• Lead or participate in productive team meetings
• Plan the people/team side just as they would plan the technical side
