From Publishers Weekly:
Some of the companies profiled in this guide for managers adopted job security programs which led to decreased absenteeism and higher productivity. Employee stock-ownership plans, problem-solving teams and pooling of technological resources in limited partnerships were among the measures utilized by other firms. Seidman, chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Skancke, vice-president of G. William Miller merchant bankers, urge managers to encourage innovation, to reward producers, to make employees part of the team, to spread accountability through the ranks and to reduce layers of management. Much of their advice has a familiar ring, but the mini-case histories of 51 companies give substance to their proposals. Each case history lists the address and phone number of a contact person for readers seeking more specifics.

From Library Journal:
Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Seidman, chair of the Federal Deposit In surance Corporation (FDIC), and Skancke, a vice president of a merchant banking firm, were codirectors of the White House Conference on Productivity held during the Reagan administration. In this book, they propose that America's competitive economic advantage over other countries in the world lies in its capitalistic roots, its human and natural resources, and its industrial infrastructure, and that it can harness such manifold advantages to regain economic leadership in the world. This is a point of view that deserves more depth than this book affords. The single-page case studies of successful companies are too superficial, although thought-provoking. A motivational effort that contains little that is new.
