    Effectiveness of Leadership

    ByJoseph Paris February 9, 2015February 18, 2026

    I have owned my own business since 1985, so I have been a leader far longer than I have been led.  In fact, I have owned my own businesses for so long (thirty-years this year) that I have often been referred to as “uniquely unemployable”.  I am not certain I would agree though, because I…

    Welcome to the NEW Operational Excellence Society

    ByJoseph Paris January 12, 2015February 18, 2026

    Welcome to the official “coming-out party” of the new Operational Excellence Society.  The past few years have been an interesting and exciting journey worthy of any adventure novel, except this one has been very real.  As with every adventure, the path has been full of twists and turns.  There have been many false starts and…

    Taking Business Performance to the Next Level

    The Toyota Production System is Not Nearly Enough

    ByJoseph Paris November 10, 2014February 18, 2026

    It’s been a tough several years for Toyota.  Information gained from the Toyota website indicates that, in 2013 alone (as of October), there have been almost 3.5 MILLION vehicles recalled.  Considering the total units produced in 2012 (latest annual figures available) was 9.9 million; that’s an annual recall rate of over 1/3rd (35%) of vehicles…

    Conflict and Consensus

    ByJoseph Paris October 16, 2014February 18, 2026

    Arguing and debate (I don’t generally feel there is a difference – except, perhaps, that a debate consists of a series of arguments) goes back to the beginning of the ages, probably starting at the very moment mankind was able to communicate.  One of the most famous early debaters was Socrates, a philosopher from Ancient…
