It's time to look at a typical day at work in corporate America and how bad habits, bad procedures, and bad communication creep into the workplace, undermining productivity. Business experts agree that procedural inefficiency is an all-too-familiar theme in today's workplace, and that eliminating it is one of business managers' most important responsibilities. The Corporate Drain provides business leaders with tools to recognize problems and tips for raising efficiency and improving performance such as: Unclogging the flood of information (e-mail, paper reports, meetings, and conference calls); Maximizing the potential of each employee using cost-effective incentives; How training can never be underestimated or over-applied. The globalization of the business world challenges American companies to observe and understand how cultural diversity affects their operations. Author Yoel Yohan, raised in India and educated at a British military school, credits his own cultural diversity with his successful career at global giant, United Parcel Service. In The Corporate Drain, Yohan provides powerful examples and tools for profitable growth in today's international marketplace.
