The End of Assembly Line Management We’re in the midst of a revolution. Quantum leaps in technology are enabling organizations to observe and measure people’s behavior in real time, communicate internally at extraordinary speed, and innovate continuously. These new, software-driven technologies are transforming the way companies interact with their customers, employees, and other stakeholders. This is no mere tech issue. The transformation requires a complete rethinking of the way we organize and manage work. And, as software becomes ever more integrated into every product and service, making this big shift is quickly becoming the key operational challenge for businesses of all kinds. We need a management model that doesn’t merely account for, but actually embraces, continuous change. Yet the truth is, most organizations continue to rely on outmoded, industrial-era operational models. They structure their teams, manage their people, and evolve their organizational cultures the way they always have. Now, organizations are emerging, and thriving, based on their capacity to sense and respond instantly to customer and employee behaviors. In Sense and Respond, Jeff Gothelf and Josh Seiden, leading tech experts and founders of the global Lean UX movement, vividly show how these companies operate, highlighting the new mindset and skills needed to lead and manage them—and to continuously innovate within them. In illuminating and instructive business examples, you’ll see organizations with distinctively new operating principles: shifting from managing outputs to what the authors call “outcome-focused management”; forming self-guided teams that can read and react to a fast-changing environment; creating a learning-all-the-time culture that can understand and respond to new customer behaviors and the data they generate; and finally, developing in everyone at the company the new universal skills of customer listening, assessment, and response. This engaging and practical book provides the crucial new operational and management model to help you and your organization win in a world of continuous change.
From the Author: I'm a child psychologist in Manhattan. One of my goals in my practice is to help children identify emotions in themselves and others. If a young child is able to do this, he or she is better able to make and keep friends, forming bonds that help them weather the inevitable storms of adolescence and beyond. In fact, leading researchers have determined that being emotionally literate not only improves a child's emotional well-being, but also improves a child's academic performance. This book is designed to foster social and emotional intelligence in your child. The first part of the book teaches different emotions, demonstrating them in the faces of the featured children. Your child is then encouraged to identify these emotions in themselves. Ask your child, when prompted, what makes them feel angry or sad, scared or happy. The answers may surprise you. Finally, a game is included that asks your child to identify the different emotions they learned, guessing with only a small part of the face revealed.
