Synopsis

In 1986 Edward Lawler first alerted American business to the power of high-involvement management--management that encourages employees to participate fully in the business of their employer. Then, he demonstrated how it can inspire innovation, increase cost-effectiveness, and deliver improved quality, service, and speed. Now Lawler goes one step further. Citing such thriving companies as Hewlett-Packard, General Electric, Xerox, and Motorola, he offers an integrated overview of just how an organization must be designed--how it must look and act--to realize the full potential of high-involvement management. He details the types of management and reward systems, leadership behaviors, job design, and training programs that make high-involvement organizations really work. And he shows how to implement specific practices, such as work teams, skill-based pay, gain sharing, and improvement groups, that help create an environment where employees grow and the organization prospers.
