COMPENDIUM ONE - The Governing Business Constraint

Every organization experiences problems. Only one, however, is the governing business constraint that quietly limits everything else. In this foundational volume, Lawrence M. Schneider introduces the central principle of the Schneider Axiom Institute Business Constraint Discipline™: diagnosis before prescription. Drawing on decades of executive operating experience, he demonstrates why capable leaders repeatedly invest time, money, and effort solving important problems while leaving the governing constraint untouched. Readers learn to distinguish symptoms from governing causes, understand why traditional improvement efforts often disappoint, and build the diagnostic mindset that underpins the remaining Compendium volumes.
