Download or read book Make No Mistake written by C. Martin Hinckley and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2001-09-30 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With C. Martin Hinckley's new book Make No Mistake! An Outcome Based Approach to Mistake-Proofing, that vision can become a reality. If you work for a company that emphasizes traditional quality control methods, it's unlikely that you've seen defects eliminated despite your substantial efforts. Make No Mistake! clarifies the reasons why such traditional methods fail and shows how world-class quality can be achieved at a minimal cost through mistake-proofing — the practice of controlling virtually every source of potential errors. As the author states, "The great value of mistake-proofing is that, independent of the cause, psychological factor, production stage, or potential consequences, it blocks or warns about an undesired outcome at a point in the process when the consequences can be minimized." Truly the first of its kind, Make No Mistake! is a compendium of the best methods for reducing complexity, variation, confusion and the other root causes of defects — but the centerpiece of this powerful mistake-proofing tool is an outcome-based classification system that focuses on preventing rather than detecting defects. Even more importantly, Hinckley's mistake-proofing documentation forms will help you adapt this methodology to your own defect prevention efforts. Make No Mistake! is an amazing compilation of mistake-proofing tools that is encyclopedic in scope. Because mistake-proofing is a skill that improves through familiarity with previous solutions, Hinckley's new classification systems is the key to rapidly finding outstanding solutions to current problems on the shop floor. Make No Mistake! is one book that will be invaluable in your company's quest for quality. Make No Mistake! includes: Over 200 mistake-proofing examples from varied industries Easy-to-use mistake-proofing documentation forms you can use on the job Introduction to principles of mistake-proofing and design for assembly A quick, step-by-step methodology for developing superior mistake-proofing concepts Listing of select suppliers of mistake-proofing devices

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “At last! A book about errors, flubs, and screwups that pushes beyond platitudes and actually shows how to enlist our mistakes as engines of learning, growth, and progress. Dive into The Mistakes That Make Us and discover the secrets to nurturing a psychologically safe environment that encourages the small experiments that lead to big breakthroughs.” DANIEL H. PINK, #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF DRIVE, WHEN, AND THE POWER OF REGRET We all make mistakes. What matters is learning from them, as individuals, teams, and organizations. The Mistakes That Make Us: Cultivating a Culture of Learning and Innovation is an engaging, inspiring, and practical book by Mark Graban that presents an alternative approach to mistakes. Rather than punishing individuals for human error and bad decisions, Graban encourages us to embrace and learn from them, fostering a culture of learning and innovation. Sharing stories and insights from his popular podcast, “My Favorite Mistake,” along with his own work and career experiences, Graban show how leaders can cultivate a culture of learning from mistakes. Including examples from manufacturing, healthcare, software, and two whiskey distillers, the book explores how organizations of all sizes and industries can benefit from this approach. In the book, you'll find practical guidance on adopting a positive mindset towards mistakes. It teaches you to acknowledge and appreciate them, take necessary measures to avoid them while gaining knowledge from the ones that occur. Additionally, it emphasizes creating a safe environment to express mistakes and encourages responding constructively by emphasizing learning over punishment. Developing a culture of learning from mistakes through psychological safety is essential in effective leadership and organizational success. Leaders must lead by example and demonstrate kindness to themselves and others by accepting their own blunders instead of solely pushing for more courage from their team. This approach, as Graban highlights, fosters a positive and productive work environment. The Mistakes That Make Us is a must-read for anyone looking to create a stronger organization that produces better results, including lower turnover, more improvement and innovation, and better bottom-line performance. Whether you are a startup founder or an aspiring leader in a larger company, this book will inspire you to lead with kindness and humility, and show you how mistakes can make things right.

Learning from them is. Whether we admit it or not, mistakes are the raw material of potential learning and the means by which we progress and move forward. Mark Graban's The Mistakes That Make Us is a brilliant treatment of this topic that helps us frame mistakes properly, detach them from fear, and see them as expectations, not exceptions. This book's ultimate contribution is helping us realize that creating a culture of productive mistake-making accelerates learning, confidence, and success.” TIMOTHY R.

Download or read book The Joy of Lean written by Dodd Starbird and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has your organization tried Lean already? If so, you surely see and feel the Joy of Lean in your workplace now, right? Don't worry. If you're not quite to joy yet, you're not alone. As it attracts more and more attention as a successful business philosophy that can improve results in any type of organization, lean has still sometimes been misunderstood as a method for just cutting expenses. The useful ideas of eliminating waste and driving greater efficiency can pick up a negative spin, with perceptions of job cuts, employees doing more with less, and managers squeezing more productivity from each person. None of that sounds very joyful. But it doesn't have to be that way. This book will show leaders how to cultivate a positive Lean Culture of Excellence that creates value for customers, profitable growth for businesses, sustainable cost reduction, and fulfilling jobs for employees. Lean Culture means empowerment. Lean Culture means better value for the customer. Lean Culture means better performance for the organization. Lean Culture means a more engaging, rewarding, and yes, even joyful role for each employee. And Lean Culture provides the competitive advantages that a team needs to survive and grow. We call the approach Lean Engaged Team Performance (Lean ETP). It's a purposeful combination of value innovation, process excellence, performance measures, team goals, collaborative norms, organizational structure, enabling technology, and most of all, visionary leadership. And it's hard to achieve and even harder to sustain, but it's worth the journey! Praise for The Joy of Lean "For a young growth company, the self-discipline of Engaged Team Performance and a commitment to process improvement do not initially sound too joyful. But all we needed was one team to try. Our leaders and employees came together… operating at the best service levels we had ever achieved." Jana Schmidt, President and CEO, Ecova, Inc. "Life is supposed to be an adventure, and work is a core part of that journey. The Joy of Lean will help you develop a culture where everyone takes joy in coming to work every day to contribute something that will change the world for the better." Dr. Fred Moll, co-founder and CEO, Auris Surgical Robotics, and co-founder of Intuitive Surgical "The Joy of Lean provides practical advice that every organization should follow when pursuing a Lean transformation. Dodd Starbird delivers the content in an easy to understand, even humorous way that makes this an important and enjoyable read for anyone, not just leaders for whom the book is most intended." Drew Locher, author of Lean Office and Service Simplified "Dodd Starbird fixes the limitations of most Lean implementations by shifting focus from eliminating waste to achieving excellence, and it's spot on!" David Marquet, author of Turn the Ship Around! "At its heart,The Joy of Lean is about leaders building relationships: relationships with your customer and with your employees. Engaged Team Performance is all about empowering your employees to demonstrate care while attracting new customers, strengthening client relationships, or delivering products and services every day. The Joy of Lean provides the key to any successful business." Art Bacci, Head Hong Kong Group, Principal International "Business, especially a growing business, is ultimately about people working with people. The Joy of Lean outlines key principles for driving a culture of business performance. Working with Dodd Starbird's ETP principles, we have been able to deliver sustainable value to our business, and our teams remain engaged." Beth Rothwell, President, VfD Companies

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When project managers are faced with budget cuts and fewer resources, waste elimination becomes a priority in maintaining effectiveness.

The connections, or lack thereof, are what strongly impact performance and quality. This book defines nine wastes found in project management and demonstrates how they can be addressed with lean technology.
Download or read book And the Leader is written by Gareth Chick and published by Critical Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-29 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gareth Chick’s second book, And the Leader Is... is a comprehensive and practical guide in how to lead effectively with heightened Corporate Emotional Intelligence (CEQ). Drawing on his 40 year experience of every aspect of the Corporate World, from CEO to Coach; from manager to trainer, Gareth Chick covers the fundamental management and leadership competencies of coaching, high performance teams, authentic leadership and transformational change. In his first book Corporate Emotional Intelligence, Gareth provided a compelling analysis of Corporate Psychology; giving us a profound new understanding of how working in the Corporate World causes thoroughly decent human beings to behave in unnatural and inhuman ways. The book concluded by outlining the 4 Pillars of Corporate Emotional Intelligence (CEQ), equipping us with strategies to raise our personal leadership effectiveness. And the Leader Is... completes Gareth’s personal corporate life mission to give hard pressed modern leaders and managers the practical competencies to be more effective, more fulfilled and more sustainable. While each of his two books stands on its own merits, the combination of the two forms arguably the most important work on corporate leadership since Dr Edwards Demings’ writings of the late 20th Century. It is fitting therefore that the Foreword is written by Tony Barnes, the last surviving member of the Deming team that revolutionised Japanese business and manufacturing practices in the 1950s and 1960s. “A bible of common sense; a book that cuts to the core of achieving great business results whilst caring for the people you lead.” Fionnuala Meehan, VP EMEA Global Marketing Solutions and Head of Ireland, Google “It’s like no other book I’ve ever experienced. It’s intensely personal - the insights, the examples, the honesty. This is much more than a book. It’s a deep journey.” Alison Platt, Non Executive Director, Tesco Plc “I have read many great books on coaching, leadership and teams. However, this is even greater, with all of these areas more expertly placed in one book”. Becky Ivers, People Director – Expansion, Heathrow Airport “I was transported into ‘And the Leader is....Tina’. Easy to read ‘brain food’ providing simple strategies to unlock human potential. This book is becoming my own personal coach.” Tina Jennings, HR Director, Global Consumer Brands, Walgreens Boots Alliance
