Comments on: Resume – Timothy F. Prosser http://oneffectivemanagement.wordpress.com Observations and thoughts on business management collected during my 5 careers Wed, 20 May 2009 18:46:31 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: timprosser http://oneffectivemanagement.wordpress.com/resume-timothy-f-prosser/#comment-114 timprosser Mon, 19 Jan 2009 14:04:58 +0000 http://oneffectivemanagement.wordpress.com/?page_id=95#comment-114 Thanks, Jim. Please do contact me, as I'm definitely interested in hearing your ideas, and collaboration isn't out of the question. The foundations of effective management are far more in the culture of the organization than in the individual, in my experience, and savvy managers understand this. Most Western companies seem to throw the tools of quality management at their problems without the underlying philosophy, and then wonder why it doesn't work as they expected. One of the most important things I learned from Dr. Deming was that an organization must internalize change, making it part of the culture, and not just treat it as a band aid, to really succeed. If the culture doesn't support the change, it won't stick, or at least live up to its promise. I've never been called "people whisperer" that I know of, but wanted to write about the concept, as I think the best managers often have at least some of this kind of skill. Thanks much for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you again. Best of luck and thanks again - Tim Thanks, Jim.

Gill Fri, 16 Jan 2009 15:12:10 +0000 http://oneffectivemanagement.wordpress.com/?page_id=95#comment-113 Mr. Prosser, Very interesting. I met Dr. Deming in 1980 and had several meeting over dinner and one other seminar. From 1980 to 1984 worked with teams at U.S. Steel, Gary to test Dr. Demings methods with unbelievable success. I realized that his process was credible and totally doable. however, he hadn't created an implementation process to go with the tools and philosophy. In late 1984, I left U.S. Steel and created what I thought would be a good implementation process. Ironically, U.S. Steel called me back as a consutant a year later and gave me a beta test site. During the 1st year, we were very successful, but the company went on strike and we had to leave. Over the next decade, I worked with several companies with much success in application but no success in convincing management to adapt the process. I realized it was totally my fault because i was so interested in proving the system worked more than convincing management to make the transformation needed. I would like to talk to you and discuss the possibility of collaborating about my system and maybe a future venture. I too have been called the people whisperer many times, but never took it seriously. Looking forward to talking to you. Jim Gill Mr. Prosser,
