Hmm...I'm thinking of changing the title of these posts to
sound bite. This quote very much reminds me of the company I work for now. Most companies these days, I suspect.
"I hated the 'make-the-month- mentality where everything was evaluated on the basis of short term financial performance, and I became convinced that I would never be allowed to take the more difficult next steps in creating a lean organization. I already knew that when you try to create continuous flow there is going to be a step backward for every two steps forward, and I doubted that GE's instant-results management culture could deal with it." --Art Byrne
