ABSTRACT FROM THE ARTICLE 2

The Work of Management: A Daily Path to Sustainable Improvement

Summary

The author, Jim Lancaster, tells of an inspiring story in two dimensions. First, it’s a close-

up on his personal leadership transformation. Secondly, it is a comprehensive, real business case

analysis of Lantech’s lean transformative phases. Lancaster reveals why Lantech, a stellar lead

performer for years, grappled over time to maintain profit and enhance financial performance.

Lancaster (2017) further declares that 60 to 90 minute’s frontline on daily managerial activities

are essential in sustaining and expanding business. Everyday management requires a change in

managers’ thoughts and actions from judging people on results to having discussions and

motivating people at a lower level so as to meet objectives. Moreover, the author narrates how

daily management plus sustainable continuous perfection leads to an incredibly positive impact

on the end product.

Lancaster is keen to mention what happens in daily struggles where participants assess

how good they are maintaining profits and how to continue doing well. The need to practice the

lean leadership spirit where managers act like coaches by engaging team members in problem-

solving is well emphasized. Also, Lancaster mentions that all spheres of Lantech are integrated

for the efficient running of activities (Lancaster, 2017). Finally, the firm hugely invests in the

daily training of its employees.

Reaction

I view the book as a great inspiration to any CEO or person willing to set on a journey to

establish his firm and maintain gains. I honestly believe that the book presents a formula to

sustainable improvement and anyone can use it to transform themselves positively. The authors

begin narrating how the company tried to grapple with sales and improve financial performance.
