Will Your Next Mistake Be Fatal? Author: Robert E. Mittelstaedt, Jr. Publisher: Wharton School Publishing ISBN: 0-13-191364-6
"Every business and system disaster has one thing in common; the people in charge never saw it coming."
Catastrophies don't just happen and Robert identifies the mistakes made and how they could have been avoided for everything from Enron to the Space Shuttle Columbia to even 911.
Robert shows you how to address errors in preparation, execution, strategy, and culture. His book outlines how to build internal systems that trigger loud and actionable alarms before failure happens.
This is one of those books that I couldn't put down, and after reading some of the disasters in chronological order I wondered HOW this escaped those in authority.
Great book! |
