Learn how to develop a strategy to gain buy-in and commitment to new behaviours on a large scale.
This is what Ray Immelman says about what motivated him to write this book:

”As an international management consultant, I have always been fascinated by the extraordinary diversity of people in management positions. After the first ten years and more than a hundred companies, I came to realize that the leadership values and attitude are the most important factors in the success of an enterprise.
Through first-hand observation, I analyzed the dynamic interplay between leaders and subordinates, which led to the formulation of the concepts in GREAT BOSS DEAD BOSS.”

The ten steps of the Decalogue stem from one fundamental concept in order to manage effectively we must be able to predict the outcome of our decisions. Prediction is possible only within a system in a state of statistical control. Achieving such a state enhances our possibilities of getting the maximum performance from our system.

Indeed, the performance of any stable system is limited by a very small number of factors-in most cases only one. We call these limiting factors ‘constraints’. Managing a stable system effectively management of its constraints. Moreover, constraints are not only internal to the system; very often what constraints our performance is our inability to sell what we are able to produce or provide.

Continual improvement of an organization’s performance can only be sustained over time by on-going company-wide learning. This learning must result in a consistent and synchronized set of actions.

The Decalogue provides a systematic guide for implementing and sustaining such a robust process of continual improvement.
