Description
Book SynopsisThe Human Constraint is a business novel with supplementary material for business leaders. It is inspired by dozens of implementations of the Decalogue methodology in Europe and North America since 1996. The Decalogue blends Deming's philosophy with the Theory of Constraints in a cohesive, systemic approach to management.
