“Until we believe the expert in any job is the

person performing it, we shall forever limit the

potential of that person. Consider a

manufacturing setting: within their 25 square foot

area, nobody knows more about how to operate a

machine, improve its quality, optimize the material

flow, or keep it operating than the machine

operators. Nobody.”

John Young, PresidentHewlett-Packard
