✦ Synopsis

First, there were quality circles. Then there was participation. And total quality. All succeeded-for some problems, at some times, in some places. But the workforce and the work environment have changed radically, while the structure of much work and the shape and functioning of organizations have not changed apace. Here is a vision of working relationships with the flexibility and innovativeness, the partnership, powersharing, and accountability that today's educated workforce and fluid work projects demand. The goal: a climate in which all workers think like owners.
