DW: How did that go over with the staff?
RP: In the beginning they were skeptical. I got all of the people who report
directly to me into the board room, we sat down, I passed out copies ofThe
Goal, and I said: “Guys, we’re going to come together every week on Friday.
We’ll have fun, we’ll have food, the whole bit, but we’re going to discuss
how to translate The Goal into banking terms.” I’m looking over there at my
CFO, he has this constipated look on his face. I said, “Jim, is there something
wrong?” He says, “Yeah.” I said “What?” He says, “There’s no index in the
back of the book. How do we find anything?” I said, “You read it, it’s a
novel.” He eventually became our biggest advocate. But he was totally
skeptical.
