Critics Review
Immense value to business leaders and their subordinates alike. You have to get management buy-in and get Michael Vaughan into your office! - Dane Cobain, SocialBookshelves.com
Finally a book that articulates a simple methodology of how to think versus what to think, that is sustainable, scalable, agnostic to time, economy, politics, and social and cultural bias. - Rodahl Leong-Lyons, Vice President of Sales Americas, HYATTVaughan articulates the subject excellently - teaching his readers how to think, rather than what to think. His arguments caused me to think about my own knowledge of business improvements and how I should look at processes from an alternative perspective - almost with a fresh pair of eyes. - Quality WorldVaughan s view on thinking actually ties in nicely with my personal workplace mantra: Be a decent human being. By pausing to consider the work we re doing more deeply, by weighing how our actions might affect others, we re inherently behaving in a way that s more collaborative and helpful.About The Author
