CHAPTER 8

Resistance to Improvement

When an ordinary human being strides forward, there are parts of him moving backward. The [corporate] organism is infinitely more sprawling and complicated in its motion.1

Few are the places . . . where the gulf of remoteness is broader than in the dealings between an employee and those who make personnel decisions affecting his welfare.2

—J.M. Juran
