"The best companies now know, without a doubt, where productivity - real and
limitless productivity - comes from.
It comes from challenged, empowered, excited, rewarded teams of people… engaging
every single mind in the organisation, making everyone a part of the action, and
allowing everyone to have a voice - a role - in the success of the enterprise.
Doing so raises productivity not incrementally, but by multiples."
Jack Welch, former CEO and Chairman of General Electric.
