  1. "It is a shame so many think lean is equal to “reducing staff.” Lean is about removing waste. Removing waste might mean that fewer people are needed but no real organization aims to reduce staff..."

    it would be much better to redeploy staff not needed for streamlined processes to other jobs to service the companies growing business...

  5. ...while "Costco pays the highest wages in the industry with benefits that are very good for any industry" to "workers" they don't pay the exorbitant executive pay most of the companies that scrimp on paying non-executives. As I have said before I don't believe you can take executives seriously on claims they believe in respect for people when they pay themselves like nobles and workers like serfs.

    Changing how organizations are managed makes a huge difference in people’s lives, not all the time and I understand most of the time it doesn’t. But when this is done well people can go from dreading going to work to enjoying going to work, not every single day – but most days, and it can change our lives ...

  11. I have been writing about the problems of overpaid executives that has lately become so bad that "overpaid executives" doesn't capture the nature of the problem. Today I see many CEO's are acting as kleptocrats do - taking food out of others mouths to build their castles. The damage done to everyone else involved is of no concern.

  12. CEOs, and their cronies, were well paid decades ago. As their greed about their pay got to be unethical Peter Drucker started to speak out against their #ethical failures. As those abuses became more extreme he increased his objections.

    "In a reflection of Toyota’s team-oriented approach, its executive pay is paltry by U.S. standards."

    The executive pay crisis in America is a symptom of the failure of American management to understand their role. Executives are part of the system and have acted shamefully in allowing obscene pay for a few...

  17. Superior Customer Experiences

    "Oakley found that there is a direct link between employee satisfaction and customer satisfaction, and between customer satisfaction and improved financial performance."
