I’m making an assumption here……
I’m making an assumption here……but I think you’re talking about KAIZEN, the Japanese “philosophy” of continuous self-improvement.
IF that’s the case, I reviewed a book on the subject some six months ago for Next Step magazine. The philosophy concerns constantly reviewing your life (or, in your case, how well the team is performing), &, rather than making radical changes, looking to make small, frequent adjustments.
I am an avid fan of the theory behind it, and whole heartedly recommended the book in the review.
It’s called “Kaizen & You” by Igor Popovitch, ISBN: 1852522615
& is available from amazon.com. They also sell a book called “Kaizen Strategies for Improving Team Performance” by Michael Colenso, although I’ve not read it myself.
Hope this helps, and that I’m not talking about something TOTALLY UNRELATED to your request!!!!
