Cameron Johnson reviewed The New Economics by W. Edwards Deming
Still Relevant
5 stars
While it was written almost 30 years ago, it still feels relevant. Industry has been slow to adopt Deming’s ideas, and any manager who reads this will feel challenged. Managers are still treating every problem as a fire, instead of understanding their systems and reducing their unpredictability.

Cameron Johnson reviewed The control theory manager by William Glasser
Good summary of managing people
W Edwards Deming is the prophet of TQM, a process for building quality into products, and his book Out of the Crisis is a classic. Here, his disciple William Glasser summarizes many of the theories around getting the most out of people, without the math of Deming’s writings.
In short, stop telling people what to do and start listening to them and leading them.
Cameron Johnson finished reading The control theory manager by William Glasser
Short and to the point
Deming’s theories are both widely respected and rarely understood. Here, Wheeler gives a comprehensible, practical strategy for bringing chaos under control in an organization, with several examples of seductive traps in thinking.
