There’s Got to Be a Better Way: How to Deliver Results and Get Rid of the Stuff That Gets in the Way of Real Work

byNelson P. RepenningandDonald C. Kieffer

Nelson P. Repenning and Donald C. Kieffer examine why organizations burden capable people with meetings, workarounds, conflicting priorities, and processes that obstruct the work they were created to support. Drawing on years of operational research and practice, they show how leaders can identify the system conditions producing chronic frustration instead of blaming employees or launching another temporary initiative. The book presents a disciplined method for clarifying purpose, exposing bottlenecks, testing improvements, and building routines that sustain better performance. It is a practical guide to delivering stronger results while making work itself more manageable and meaningful.
