Completed reading “The Goal” – touted to be the book that every operations manager should read. To put in a line: The protagonist Alex Rogo turns around his plant from near closure to one of the best in his division and industry with the help of a Physicist cum Management Guru. The book ends when more challenges lie ahead for Alex and his team and with a hint that thinking about the root cause is the solution to all problems. Boy, isn’t that common sense :-) Of course the book quotes that common sense is the most uncommon thing after all.
When Lalitha told me about the book and suggested me to read it, I immediately recognized that I had read a Tamil translation of this book in a Tamil Weekly. Though, I didn’t remember all the details I remembered the scout picnic pretty well. It was a really light read for a management book and well worth the time.
