  Sid Joynson is an English business consultant who believes that the problem with British industry is management, and that most bosses get in the way of their staff, who want to do the best they can, given the responsibility and help which they need to find their own solutions. His knowledge of industry was accumulated during his years as an engineer working all over Britain, but his philosophy is Japanese. He spends two months each year working in Tokyo, learning the latest skills, and then tailors them to British industry. In this book Joynson applies his methods to six large organizations. He sees the process as one of encouraging ordinary people to discover their potential for great achievement, and his role as providing simple tools to help them. His process for finding solutions is explained in the first chapter, and then demonstrated in the chapters which follow, describing how he effected change in each of the six organizations.
