Harness The Power of People to Improve Profit
Perry Ludy's book starts with the remarkably simple premise that most executives have forgotten: your employees are the key to top line growth and bottom line improvement. They have the knowledge, they want to help, and most of them will jump at the chance to contribute to the organization's success in a meaningful way. If you allow employees to use their brains, their hearts and hands will follow. Now there is a way to harness this untapped resource to improve your profitablity and turn on your employees.Profit Building provides the road map for management to harness the power of people. It outlines a process that can produce improvements at all levels of the corporation, and results can start to be realized in a matter of weeks or months, not years. Mr. Ludy developed his PBP (Profit Building Process) during his business career, and he provides numerous examples of how he used it successfully at both large and small corporations. The steps are outlined in such a way that your managers will want to keep the book with them at all times as a desk reference. This is a "must read" for management at all levels.
