Book excerpt: What is improvement? It is accurately described as "the process of a thing moving from one state to a state considered to be better, usually through some action intended to bring about that better state. The concept of improvement is important to governments and businesses, as well as to individuals."This is a seemingly harmless concept that everyone can agree on in all its applications. Yet, it is surprisingly controversial when applied to the management and leadership of organizations. For nearly 140 years, efforts to systematically improve management practice have encountered one barrier after another and commission of repetitive mistakes that thwart sustained progress towards better leadership and management practice. What should by now be common practice in organizations, progressive management, remains a rarity.For progressive management to advance, its promoters and practitioners need to understand the principal arguments against it and the recurring mistakes that are made which serve only to further extend the useful life of classical management. Improvement puts progressive management into historical perspective and helps readers understand the progress that has been made and what has yet to be achieved. It provides clear guidelines that current and future generations can put into practical use so that progressive management will gain wider acceptance and continuously evolve in response to changing conditions.

Book excerpt: Managing improvement is not about change for the sake of change, but is a fundamental philosophy for achieving business goals. In Managing Improvement, author William Doak has targeted this message to those people working in middle management-the individuals who manage the bulk of an organization's employees and resources and who carry the primary responsibility for delivering quality products and services to their customers. Doak dispenses information on creating effective and efficient organizations that focus on continuous improvement and quality controls. Managing Improvement helps management to think strategically and to align and motive people by involving them in the pursuit of the business vision and strategy. Encouraging a disciplined, proactive method for improvement, the five-phase approach includes the following steps: Conduct a situation analysis Develop objectives Create tactics Implement and review progress Conduct annual review Containing numerous charts, figures, and tools, Managing Improvement provides a mechanism where managers and leaders can improve their ability to prioritize, improve the way they plan, and accelerate advancements in key performance areas.

Download or read book The Progress Principle written by Teresa Amabile and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2011-07-19 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What really sets the best managers above the rest? It’s their power to build a cadre of employees who have great inner work lives—consistently positive emotions; strong motivation; and favorable perceptions of the organization, their work, and their colleagues. The worst managers undermine inner work life, often unwittingly. As Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer explain in The Progress Principle, seemingly mundane workday events can make or break employees’ inner work lives. But it’s forward momentum in meaningful work—progress—that creates the best inner work lives. Through rigorous analysis of nearly 12,000 diary entries provided by 238 employees in 7 companies, the authors explain how managers can foster progress and enhance inner work life every day. The book shows how to remove obstacles to progress, including meaningless tasks and toxic relationships. It also explains how to activate two forces that enable progress: (1) catalysts—events that directly facilitate project work, such as clear goals and autonomy—and (2) nourishers—interpersonal events that uplift workers, including encouragement and demonstrations of respect and collegiality. Brimming with honest examples from the companies studied, The Progress Principle equips aspiring and seasoned leaders alike with the insights they need to maximize their people’s performance.

This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results-based management (RBM) is a public management strategy that involves decision making based on reliable information regarding the effects of governmental actions on society. It has been adopted in various developed countries as a way of improving efficiency and effectiveness in public policy. In Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries, governments and public managers show increasing interest in this management strategy. Given the relative novelty of RBM in the region, however, there is scant literature on the subject. This book is intended to fill this gap in two ways. First, it seeks to describe some of the basic RBM concepts and adapt them according to regional characteristics. Second, it presents an assessment, based on studies carried out in 25 countries, of the challenges facing LAC countries and their capacity to implement results-based public management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first comprehensive departure from the time-and-motion dictums of Frederick Taylor's Shop Management that have influenced management practices for most of this century, Kiyoshi Suzaki offers a framework for successfully conducting business at its most crucial point-the shop floor. Drawing on the principles of holistic management, where organizational boundaries are smashed and co-destiny is created, Suzaki demonstrates how modern shop floor management techniques -- focusing maximum energy on the front line -- can lead to dramatic improvements in productivity and valueadded-to-services. The role of management today, Suzaki argues, is to eliminate its own responsibilities by thinking of the organization from the genba, or shop floor, point of view. In this challenge, Suzaki claims, organizations need to collect the wisdom of people by practicing "Glass Wall Management," where organizations become transparent, enabling employees to contribute maximum creativity as opposed to blocking their potential with what he calls "Brick Wall Management." Further, to empower individuals to selfmanage their work and satisfy their customers, Suzaki asserts that they all should learn to manage their own "mini-company," where everybody is considered president of his or her area of responsibility. Front-line supervisors, Suzaki shows, must develop a mission and goals and share them both up and downstream. He cites examples of the "shop floor point of view" -- McDonald's Corporation's legal staff learning how to sell hamburgers and fix milkshake machines; Honda's human resource staff training on the assembly line -- that narrow the gap between top management and the shop floor. By upgrading people's skills, focusing on empowerment, and streamlining processes, Suzaki illustrates that an organization will realize concrete improvements in quality, cost, delivery, safety, morale, and ultimately, its competitive position.

Download or read book Always Making Progress written by Ian Madden and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book guides process-industry professionals from the implementation of the basic foundations of Continuous Improvement (CI) through to an organization where CI is a “way of life” and a defining feature of the culture of the organization. The readers of this book are seeking solutions to such pressing issues as: • Eliminating accidents and near misses. • Reducing customer complaints. • Improving customer delivery performance. • Elimination of accidents and near misses. • Reducing customer complaints. • Improving customer delivery performance. • Introducing new products. • Improving staff productivity. • Removing costs to meet the budget. • Dealing with absence and poor morale. • Improving staff retention. This book provides them with guidance on how to address issues in these areas in a way that enables improvements to be realized quickly but not at the expense of a long-term goal of a sustainable Continuous Improvement culture. In addition, this book presents the implementation of CI as a cyclical journey with no endpoint. The stages are ordered in a sequence that enables the reader to get started in their area of the company and build up the elements without the need for an overall organizational strategy at the beginning. Continuous Improvement is a vast subject with many takes on principles, approaches, and tools. This book is about how all the fundamentals of these areas fit together and, as such, covers only some of them. However, within the bibliography, I have signposted the books that have guided me during my career and which go into the principles, approaches, and tools further.

Book excerpt: Outlines a program for building into an ongoing organization a capability for self-controlled, self-driven innovation through which it can evolve into an ever less imperfect instrument of its mission. A program for progressive development of successive stages of improved progress-management capability is described, along with supporting rationale underlying mechanics. The fully-developed system provides ability to: (1) Define long-range organizational self-improvement objectives through a process which involves (a) application of economic choice to selection of progress objectives based on explicit and documented assumptions, and (b) reduction of uncertainty and refinement of assumptions via RAND Delphi technique and R and D; (2) identify, analyze, structure and document problems barring attainment of objectives; (3) apply most appropriate resource -- management initiative, management technical assistance, R and D, or capital investment -- to solution of these problems, and (4) select R and D problems on basis of return on investment--expected value of payoff over cost to the Command.
