The Goal A Process of Ongoing Improvement by Eli Goldratt

Want to increase your personal output, or the output of your team? Do you feel like there’s a bottleneck constraining you, but you don’t know how to improve it? Have you tried working harder, with little results?The Goal explains why optimizing activities that seem productive can actually be pointless. This classic management book (recommended by Jeff Bezos as required reading for new Amazon managers) introduced the idea of identifying the bottleneck in a production system and restructuring the organization around it. It upends traditional obsessions with cost efficiency to focus on what really matters.
