Named by The Washington Post as one of the 11 Leadership Books to Read in 2018When it comes to recruiting, motivating, and creating great teams, Patty McCord says most companies have it all wrong. McCord helped create the unique and high-performing culture at Netflix, where she was chief talent officer. In her new book, Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility, she shares what she learned there and elsewhere in Silicon Valley. McCord advocates practicing radical honesty in the workplace, saying good-bye to employees who don’t fit the company’s emerging needs, and motivating with challenging work, not promises, perks, and bonus plans. McCord argues that the old standbys of corporate HR—annual performance reviews, retention plans, employee empowerment and engagement programs—often end up being a colossal waste of time and resources. Her road-tested advice, offered with humor and irreverence, provides readers a different path for creating a culture of high performance and profitability. Powerful will change how you think about work and the way a business should be run. Read more

There is a new business landscape, where companies are increasingly being judged on their ability to generate _social value_. But there is no off-the-shelf solution for the leaders and change makers in this new domain. Creating social value is a journey, and each company must chart its own path through uncertain and complex terrain. We invite you to discover how the entrepreneurial leaders profiled in this book have become trailblazers, using strategy and innovation to generate profits and social value simultaneously.Creating Social Value provides insights into the motivations and preoccupations of groundbreaking entrepreneurial leaders as they look to activate change not just within their companies, but also in their sectors, value chains and even through co-creating partnerships with their competitors. Such change requires fundamentally new styles of leadership and business design where companies seek to be generative rather than extractive.This book also bears witness to the emergence of new language to describe these innovative concepts. Working with and sharing ideas with social entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs inside, the authors became aware of the building blocks of a new lexicon with the power to inspire and positively influence the culture of an organization. Many of the leaders included in this book have driven change by harnessing the power of language to reroute their company’s direction.For example, The Campbell Soup Company has created _destination goals_ to describe the long-term vision of the company to nourish its customers, employees and neighbours. Roshan has worked on _nation building_, creating physical infrastructure in Afghanistan, a country decimated by war. UPS has worked to understand its impact on the planet, building a _materiality matrix_ of the issues that matter to its stakeholders, while working to create a culture that fosters social innovation and seeks to understand _constructive dissatisfaction_. Ford is redefining its mission, imagining a different future in which it provides _mobility solutions_, rather than only manufacturing cars. Ford is working with Toyota to co-create technologies to combat climate change.This book sets out a manifesto for Social Value Creation, which is defined as a strategy that combines a unique set of corporate assets (including innovation capacities, marketing skills, managerial acumen, employee engagement, scale) in collaboration with the assets of other sectors and firms to co-create breakthrough solutions to complex economic, social and environmental issues that impact the sustainability of both business and society. Social innovation differs from corporate responsibility in two significant ways: it is strategic and it leverages a wide range of corporate assets and core competencies.Creating Social Value has been designed as a manual for change. It will be essential reading for business students, entrepreneurs and all of those wishing to effect positive, generative change in larger organizations. Read more

Autonomous Maintenance (AM) is a core pillar of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), where operators take responsibility for basic equipment maintenance tasks like cleaning, inspection, and lubrication, empowering them to proactively address issues and improve equipment reliability. Autonomous Maintenance (AM) is a pivotal component of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). This essay aims to explore the principles of autonomous maintenance, its historical development, the impact on industries, influential figures, various perspectives, and a well-reasoned analysis of its future developments. Autonomous maintenance focuses on empowering operators to take responsibility for the maintenance of their equipment.This approach fosters a culture of ownership and accountability within the workforce. Operators are trained to conduct routine maintenance tasks such as cleaning, lubricating, and inspecting equipment. This reduces downtime and enhances equipment effectiveness. Implementing autonomous maintenance allows operators to develop a deeper understanding of the machinery they operate. They become more adept at identifying potential issues before they escalate into significant problems. The origins of Total Productive Maintenance can be traced back to Japan in the 1950s. However, the concept of autonomous maintenance gained prominence during the 1970s with the emergence of the Toyota Production System. The focus was on improving productivity and minimizing waste. By involving operators in the maintenance process, Toyota was able to decrease production line disruptions significantly. The integration of autonomous maintenance within the broader framework of TPM was revolutionary, as it shifted maintenance responsibilities from specialized personnel to the operators themselves. Key figures such as Seiichi Nakajima, one of the pioneers of TPM, played an integral role in developing Autonomous Maintenance. Nakajima emphasized the necessity of operator-led maintenance and the crucial role it plays in improving equipment efficiency. His work laid the foundation for many modern maintenance practices. By advocating for mechanisms that allow operators to engage in the maintenance process actively, Nakajima transformed the landscape of manufacturing and maintenance practices. The impact of autonomous maintenance has been profound across various industries. Companies embracing this methodology have reported increased overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), reduced maintenance costs, and enhanced employee morale. For example, in the automotive sector, companies implementing autonomous maintenance have seen reduced unplanned downtime. This not only increases productivity but also leads to higher quality products, as operators become more attuned to their machinery and can address issues proactively. In recent years, the advent of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing has further revolutionized autonomous maintenance practices. The integration of IoT sensors, predictive analytics, and real-time monitoring systems allows operators to receive notifications about potential equipment failures before they occur. This evolution enhances the effectiveness of autonomous maintenance. With technology facilitating the process, operators have access to a wealth of data that supports their decision-making. This shift signifies a move towards a more intelligent and responsive maintenance strategy. Despite the benefits, challenges exist in the widespread adoption of autonomous maintenance. Organizations must invest in proper training and employee engagement to realize the full potential of this approach. Resistance to change among employees, particularly in environments with a longstanding culture of maintenance performed by specialists, can hinder implementation. Read more
