I find this especially striking, considering how taking part in producing excellent products employees can be proud of and take ownership in is one of the key aspects in the quality management philosophy coming from Japan / W.E. Deming - and these philosophies should be sufficiently popular and known in the western world by now since they are very typical management training material.
- hessenwolf 15y agoLet me try and think back to the last manager I had that actually had more than a 2-day leadership course in management training... (and the last guy was confident enough to say that it was a waste of his time going to the leadership course, 1.5 months before his best employee moved to a different job working for his rival). I, also, if I'm really honest with myself, just want to build cool shit with my time.
