About this title

From the Back Cover

Companies are raving about the game of work!

" You've helped us to clarify our scorekeeping, and in the process, enabled us to build ownership of results at the front line." VP International Operations, Pepsi Bottling Group

" We had budgeted a $4 mm improvement in costs and have just closed the year with a $10 mm improvement, 250 percent better than budget! We improved our safety record from twelve OSHA reportable accidents to none last year." Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated

" The scorecards developed were a great break-through. We have always gathered numbers. The biggest difference is now they are visual, 'owned' by the person doing the job, and used as a positive tool in our coaching sessions." President, AMSCO Windows

" Employees are taking personal responsibility for their assignments, we are measuring performance more precisely, and we are doing a better job of communicating results broadly." President, Simmons Media Group

" We're on track to grow production another 11 percent and we're just scratching the surface in a host of other initiatives." US Air Force, Air Logistics Center

" Through your guidance we have discovered the 'fun' in managing our business. Our warehouse labor and delivery expense has greatly reduced and our productivity in the warehouse has at least tripled." President, Muir Copper Canyon Farm
