    About this ebook

    This book is intended to be read as a business manual of those things what-not-to-do in a business, the ways in which leaders should never behave, and the business practices which can only lead down the road to failure.

    It was written to demonstrate the very essence of what can be wrong in the world of manufacturing when Leadership is missing or intermittent; where in fact, the only leadership style present at the top of this organization can be best described as a ‘dictatorship’ and when the few who knows better are forced to flee or submit to the slow demise, out of fear of losing their job or other necessity.
    This work illustrates business stagnation, the true way of how to prevent a company from growing, by dis-empowering its people and doing nothing to encourage teamwork and positive communication among its employees!
    Even though the name of the company and people have been changed to protect the unfortunate and the innocent, the tale is still, all too real

      About the Author

      Dedication

      This book is dedicated to the thousands of hard-working people who work in the manufacturing businesses, especially the machine shops across the United States of America. These skillful machinists, talented programmers, nimble assemblers, conscientious inspectors, hustling end-of-month shipping personnel, overwhelmed maintenance support, purchasing, sales, planning and finance people, all look for true and trusted Leadership, and when this is found, they excelled in their tasks and kept the American manufacturing industry healthy, alive and well.

      I have been in some of your shoes in the capacity of the machinist, programmer, inspector, and various management roles over the years, and have shared in your wonderful sense of accomplishment, but I have also felt your sense of disappointments and frustrations at so many different levels when things do not go your way, by no fault of your own.

      Your dedication and hard work have fulfilled the many millions of dreams of your families and children, and your talent and expertise at your trade and career has kept this great country of The United States of America, great!

      Foreword

      I have known Jag for 24 years. Jag has worked in the manufacturing industry since he migrated from his native land of Guyana, in South America, first as a machinist, then a programmer, supervisor and eventually found his niche as an Agent of Change in is various positions of Management and Leadership. As a Lean Leader, he is skillfully adept at engaging people and motivating people in creating and sustaining positive changes in businesses.

      I believe that being a Hindu priest has influenced him to show the kind of tolerance and patience to influence change in the behavior in anyone he has worked with. This has shown especially in his position of a Leader and Manager in the manufacturing industry where he showed the balance between working for a business, yet caring immensely for the environment and wellbeing of his people. In this way he has changed the lives of many and focused on not working less, but working with less stress, by facilitating and implementing processes which makes work easier.

      This book is his astute observations of many things and approach that can be done wrong by management which will ultimately lead to the downfall
