Ever feel like your company, your business organization, or your product team is simply stuck? There's no sense of momentum. No clear vision. You don't know what to do next. People lack motivation. This book may be something you'll want to add to your organizational toolbox. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm a big fan of Stone Yamashita Partners. So when I saw that Keith Yamashita co-wrote this book, I had to pick up a copy. The authors advocate a balanced system approach, where Purpose is at the center of it. Surrounding and supporting this center are components, such as Strategy, Culture, People + Interaction, etc. When this system is out of balance, you're likely stuck. I found the book to be quite helpful. And it's a quick and enjoyable read. I'm a strong believer that your organizational culture has a great impact on the kind of products or services that you produce. I believe culture was one of the reasons why W. Edwards Deming was able to implement his management theories in Japan and not in the U.S., and why the Japanese were able to produce more successful automobiles. Look at any civilization's artifacts, and you'll get a sense of its culture.
