Within these clusters, one pilot serves as the leader by flying the “No. 1” position. This individual sets the pace and largely influences whether a mission will succeed. Pilots of the second, third, and fourth jets are trained to “fly the leader’s wing,” meaning they must follow closely the No. 1 jet’s maneuvers. On rare occasions, all four planes will crash. Say the leader flies into a fog bank and rams the side of a mountain. Odds are the other three will do the same. As James A.

An insurance underwriter for the last four years, he can finally call himself a manager. His boss recently told him, “You’ve worked hard, the agents like you, and your results have been outstanding. So we’re going to put you in charge of one of our underwriting units. Our hope is you’ll teach your employees how you do it, and your success will rub off on them.” Just like that, 10 employees now report to Randy. He walks into his new office (a real office, not a cubicle!) and looks around in a daze.

Knowledge is power. —Francis Bacon (1561-1626) D o you know, do you really know, what’s going on in your organization? The assertion that knowledge is power rings as true today as it did four centuries ago. In any industry, organization, or daily process, when you don’t know what you don’t know, it’s going to cost you. For too many organizations the costs (often hidden) of defects and waste in the way they operate are huge. Having processes in which errors occasionally occur may not seem such a big deal. But when you consider how many errors may be lurking in c Fri, 14 Sep 2007 00:07:56 GMT http://www.scribd.com/doc/287627/McGrawHill-Briefcase-Books-Six-Sigma-Managers http://www.scribd.com/doc/287626/McGrawHill-Briefcase-Books-Performance-Management 1 The Challenge of Performance Management I t’s year-end at Acme Progressive. Apart from wrapping up the accounting, managers and employees are going through their yearly dance of performance appraisal, as they call it. Michael manages fourteen employees directly, so he’s going to be busy meeting with each of them, filling out forms, and gulping antacid. Since the personnel department is pushing him to get his forms in on time, he has to figure out a way to get this all done as fast as possible. And he does. He sends an appraisal form to each employee via interoffice mail.

P rior to the Green Bay Packers-Chicago Bears game, the Packers coach is asked about his feelings about the game. “We have a good game plan and our players, coaches, and support staff are prepared and ready. I couldn’t be more confident of victory!” On the other side of the field, the Bears coach says virtually the same thing. Then the game begins. Play after play, the coaches adjust their game plans to reflect the circumstances. They keep using plays that gain yardage, they keep going with defensive formations and tactics that prove effective, they exploit a Fri, 14 Sep 2007 00:07:53 GMT http://www.scribd.com/doc/287624/McgrawHill-Briefcase-Books-ManagerS-Guide-To-Strategy http://www.scribd.com/doc/287621/McGrawHill-Briefcase-Books-Empowering-Employees 1 The Empowering Manager Is … “Then you should say what you mean,” the March Hare went on. “I do,”Alice hastily replied;“at least—at least I mean what I say—that’s the same thing, you know.” “Not the same thing a bit!” said the Hatter.“Why, you might just as well say that ‘I see what I eat’ is the same thing as ‘I eat what I see’!” —Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland T hink about how you give meaning to a word.

So, we can review briefly before getting into Design for Six Sigma.
