Product Description

Product Description

Lead your organization into the 21st century with the help of this groundbreaking book that is already creating a stir in corporate boardrooms across America! In a book that does for managers what his mega-bestseller, The Team Handbook, did for teams, Peter Scholtes, who is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential Quality leaders of the decade, shows the real root of management problems. Learn how to stop blaming your workers and start changing the systems with the help of activities and exercises that enable you to immediately begin implementing breakthrough improvements in all your work processes!


Book Description

Peter Scholtes, the author of The Team Handbook, the all time best-selling book on teams and quality, has written a book for managers that does what The Team Handbook did for teams. The Leader's Handbook explains how managers can inspire their people and manage the daily workflow for maximum productivity. The secret is to apply the principles of systems thinking and the work of Deming and other Quality gurus. These are the ``silver bullet'' ideas that made The Team Handbook one of the most influential business books in recent years. Scholtes includes exercises and activities at the end of each chapter to help managers start implementing new ideas immediately.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bored, then Impressed, 3 Jul 1999
By A Customer
To all those who want to have a business, read this book. At first I hated Peter Scholtes method, but then I grew to love it. It is very similar in the methodology of Steven Covey that at first it is annoying because it is right, but then you realize use it because it is right.

Scholtes make the terms of business easy to understand. There are no complex terms. It is just straight talk that is fairly fascinating.

I especially liked his talk on presenting data. Its not complex graphs or mathematical concepts, its just straightforward presentation. Look for some data from the Napoleonic wars.

Anyway, a good read. No matter what.

Great book using the same style that made the Team Handbook such a success - great ideas, well written, easy to use and in a format that makes it easy to use as a reference book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed, 27 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I liked the substance of this book, and was impressed by the ideas. Still, it doesn't get to the heart of leadership and empowering people. I suggest a recent book I read from Amazon that does this and does it well---------you'll love it: "The Leader's Guide: 15 Essential Skills."

4.0 out of 5 stars A true handbook on management techniques, tools and systems
