About this listen
Every year, good businesses fail because their systems are broken. Many more are in chaos - they don’t fail, but they don’t make any real profit either. Their teams are stretched to the breaking point, their operations go wrong at every turn, and their customers are dissatisfied and angry...but it doesn’t have to be that way.
In this audiobook, you’ll discover Lean management, a transformative system characterized by continuous improvement and respect for people. Cheap Is Good shares the system, processes, and tools from Lean management that transformed this small business in chaos into a systematic, thriving, and profitable operation.
Whether your business is in crisis right now or is slowly losing ground to more efficient competitors, Lean management is designed to cut all the waste out of your business. Learn how to win back the wasted time, wasted materials, wasted energy, and wasted money so you can increase your profit, help your team thrive, and give your customers an amazing experience every time they call you.
About Bob Cooper, Jr.: Bob Cooper, Jr., is the owner and founder of El Cheapo Lifts, based in Pico Rivera, California. He has been in the construction and rental industry for more than 25 years and oversaw a highly successful Lean transformation after the global financial crisis hit the industry hard.

It has never been harder to find good employees. Government handouts and programs, publicly traded behemoths with an insatiable appetite for front-line staff, and a burgeoning gig-economy has made hiring extremely hard for small business owners. The golden question is how do we attract good talent and then retain them long-term? How do I determine rates of compensation for my highest performers that are always demanding raises? How do I scale my business without having to constantly micro-manage my Team when they are in the field working? The answer is Pay-For-Performance (P4P).

David Novak learned long ago that you can't lead a great organization of any size without getting your people aligned, enthusiastic, and focused relentlessly on the mission. But how do you do that? There are countless leadership books, but how many will actually help a Taco Bell shift manager, a Fortune 500 CEO, a new entrepreneur, or anyone in between? Over his 15 years at Yum!
