Between 1980 and 1982 the Ford Motor Company lost more than $3 billion and seemed likely to go out of business. The Chief Executive Officer, Donald Petersen, didn't see any clear solution, but he did believe in a number of steps that should be taken to get the company moving in the right direction. He started encouraging employee involvement, participative management and teamwork, thereby turning Ford's pyramid upside down and giving back power to the employees who were actually doing the work. The company's consequent financial recovery has been widely recognized. Here Peterson relates what he learned from the experience - the secret of capturing the power of teams and making dramatic improvements in employee morale, product quality and product appeal to customers. The book is not a case history of Ford, but an examination of what executives, managers and even hourly-paid workers can do to recapture the competitive edge.

Cloth. Etat : Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition. As President and then Chairman of the Ford Motor Company in the 1980s, the author oversaw the most radical transformation in the history of that company - or any other. By turning Ford's pyramid upside down, giving power back to employees and capturing the power of teams, he brought about phenomenal improvements in morale and product quality. In this book, Petersen lays out a plan of action for CEOs, managers and even hourly workers based on the lessons he learned from his decade at the pinnacle of Ford. Taking readers step by step, he shows how to organise teams, train and retrain employees, put a quality programme in place, and forget the top-down approach that stifles creativity. Unlike others who have attempted such a book, Petersen is a hands-on practitioner. He knows what does and does not work in the real world. This book explains why these solutions are effectively not only at Ford but in any organisation trying to implement radical change. Teamwork is the management book for the 90s.Some writing in pen to inside back cover.
