More Than Tech

This is a fantastic book. Its concept is that we spend too much time addressing our weaknesses and we should instead, spend more time developing our strengths. There is a brief introduction, which you should read first, then take the test. The book comes with a code and a website, take the test and it will tell you your top 5 skills! The rest of the book explains what each skill means so that you can better understand you’re your strengths and what they mean. Its fun and it will help you get to know yourself better!

I first read "The Goal" in the 1990's wen I was consulting. I wanted to deepen my understanding of factory scheduling, but I got so much more from it. Eli Goldratt believed that writing text books as novels made them easier to read, so The Goal is written in that format. I was fascinated and consumed the whole book in 3 evenings. Reading this book will teach you how to schedule a factory, but more importantly, it will teach you how to understand a system through understanding its bottlenecks. You will learn the Theory Of Constraints, which will help you understand constraints or bottlenecks and how they really are the key to process improvement. Whether you are a beginner to process improvement or a six sigma master black belt, The Goal will improve the way you look at processes. If you read one book this year, select The Goal. I re-read the Goal or I listen to it on audible once every few years and I recommend it widely. you can buy it here: https://www.
