Description
The authors offer proven skills, training, and educational applications that develop individual employee thinking for total quality management, ISO 9000, or other quality-team business programs. It develops the great potential of using cognitive-based learning to empower people for quality and workplace leadership, systems that move beyond traditional behavior-based training techniques. The authors explain what can and cannot be done to increase creative thinking, insight, and adult intelligence. They provide bottom-line measures for assessing the effectiveness of training procedures and show how a commitment to substantive life-long employee education can build a stronger business and corporate presence in the marketplace of the future.
