My Learnings from the Book - The Goal


A few weeks ago, one of my friends recommended that I read the book "The Goal" by Eliyahu Goldratt. At first, I was hesitant to read another management book, but I must admit that the book immediately captured my interest. What a great way a physicist has defined science. He provided an explanation of the fundamentals of management using a manufacturing setup, as well as how to find answers to any problems. The fundamental guideline is to use common sense by performing these 3 easy steps:

 

a) What to change?

b) What to change to?

c) How to cause the change?

 

The finest aspect of this book is that it covered the fundamentals of life, management, and business. We are all aware of it. Although we are all aware of it, we nonetheless frequently ignore it. Second, everyone who accepts the correct hypothesis and believes in continual progress has the potential to be a subject matter expert. Finally, if you follow the goal/bigger picture, it will be easier to chase it.

"A Process of Ongoing Improvement" is the key to every company' success.

 

Everyone should read this book, in my opinion.
