Review
"We stand at the outset of building a modern knowledge base of management by means. Profit Beyond Measure points us in a direction and offers invaluable insight in getting started." -- Peter Senge
From the Publisher
Profits Beyond Measure gives a bold alternative to conventional management thinking and practice.
When managers use mechanistic principles of measurement to run living business organizations, they generate myriad disfunctions: shortened life spans for the average company, demoralized workers, turbulent communities, and a decaying ecosystem. The answer lies in business leaders instilling throughout their companies the principles which guide the operation of living systems. To do so requires disciplined practices, sustained attention to how work is done, and nurturing every step of the work at every moment. Profits Beyond Measure draws on the application of new knowledge to business, made possible by observing successful companies such as Toyota and Scania.
Managers must focus, as does nature, on minute particulars. Their job is to cultivate and develop conditions that bond company talents and customer needs in a profitable union, not to drive work with counter-productive financial targets. Instead of the destructive pursuit of management by results, managing by means, as this book shows, can enable a company to profit beyond measure in a sustainable way.
