Customer Reviews

Wonderfully readable and fundamentally solid.

Leslie Kossoff has transalated her years of experience traveling with with Deming and working in real-life quality situations into an indispensable Quality primer for any organization undertaking any kind of quality initiative. Before jumping into any of the current hot button topics like Six Sigma--read this book--and pass it out to a broad group of management. It is wonderfully basic and yet not the least bit overly simplistic. She tells it like it is... or is likely to be. And that is what all managers need to know.

The Goal

The Goal, excellent reading material for any individual who has worked in any manufacturing environment. The way in which this book was written was so real, so eye captivating. No jargon, no step by step instruction of which way to go. The book was written in a short story format which allowed the reader to come into the book and experience life in the workplace as they probably already know. For those people who deal with the every day life of what to do, how to do, and when to do in the workplace, the book is only part of their real life at work. The Goal not only covers life in the workplace but its dominoe effects which that life has on family life. The social, physiological, and physical needs all come into play as you read the book. It deals with hard times, sacrifices, maturing and growing smarter through empherical knowledge. I could certainly go on and on about the book, but right now I have got to get back to living the book. After all, "I too have The Goal to meet".
