About this book
Escape common business myths to unleash game-changing productivity
Written by Shingo Prize winner Jacob Stoller, Productivity Reimagined shows how most companies are constrained by deeply engrained myths that prevent employees from reaching their full productive potential, causing frustration, poor decisions, and disappointing results. Evidence is drawn from Toyota and dozens of other companies that have countered these myths to build strong collaborative cultures and achieve sustainable growth.
Arguments are reinforced by the latest science on human behavior and systems theory and supported by more than 60 interviews from prominent CEOs, consultants, academics, executive directors, and EVPs in the context of today's pressing global issues, including labor shortage, income inequality, job-related stress, supply chain instability, and climate change. In this book, readers will learn:
- Why we are facing a global productivity crisis despite what the news media are telling us
- Why frontline employees aren't to blame for low productivity, and that the boss doesn't always know best
- Why the whole does not equal the sum of the parts, and that the past doesn't necessarily determine the future
- Why a strong workplace culture is the essential enabler for high productivity, and how to instill it
As companies face the new realities of the global economy, Productivity Reimagined is an essential resource for forward-thinking executives, managers, and business leaders looking to solve the productivity puzzle and empower their workforces to perform at their best.
