How well will current leadership practices work in the future? With, among other things, more people working remotely in these challenging times, previous leadership practices may be an ill-fated future endeavor. Organizations that do not resolve any current practices that encourage unsatisfactorily behaviors could encounter significant issues.
To get through these difficult times, organizations need to do things better. But what leadership system is the best to pursue, and what could someone do to stimulate change? This audiobook answers this question.

Described in a novel-format is an enhanced organizational governance system called Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE). The IEE system offers much flexibility, including a means for effectively managing an organization remotely. Described is how Jorge implemented IEE in his Harris Hospital, and how his golfing MBA friends applied and also benefited from this business management system methodology in their manufacturing and transactional organizations.
IEE provides a comprehensive nine-step system that CEOs, Presidents, General Managers, executives, managers, leaders, practitioners, and others can use to resolve elephant-in-the-room management issues such as:
• Business goals not being met
• Scorecards leading to harmful, if not destructive, behaviors
• Persistent day-to-day firefighting problems
• Business strategies that are very generic and/or difficult to translate to organizational work environments
• Lean events and other improvement projects that can consume many resources but often do not offer a quantifiable benefit to the business as a whole
• Lean Six Sigma process improvement deployments that have improvement projects, which are either not completed in a timely fashion or make substantial financial claims that are questionable
This new and significantly revised edition of Implementing Six Sigma goes well beyond traditional Six Sigma methodologies,introducing an enhanced roadmap-S4/IEE (Smarter Six Sigma Solution ssm/Integrated Enterprise Excellence). This cutting-edge approach offers a solution to the common problem of sustaining Six Sigma activities and downplays the traditional policy stating that Six Sigma projects must have a defined defect. A variety of plans,checklists, metrics, and warnings of potential pitfalls provide thorough preparation for anyone implementing Six Sigma strategies.
With new coverage of Six Sigma infrastructure building,benchmarking, and real-world 'lessons learned,' this Second Edition is the best available tool for implementing these powerful,profit-building strategies.
