FAQs

Q: Will this work for me if I'm new to my job / don't work for a company which strictly operates in manufacturing or logistics / etc?

A: Most likely. I've got to observe tens of companies and hundreds of managers, so I have a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn't. Of course, this book will not work for everyone. That's why I offer a satisfied-or-reimbursed guarantee. If you do not LOVE this course, just send me an email (my address is Luca AT Luca-dellanna.com) within 30 days from when you received this book and I will refund you the full amount.

Q: Some of the workers in my company are demotivated or "difficult". Will this book work anyway?

A: This book has specifically been written taking into account demotivated, negligent or "difficult" workers. It considers the conditions that exist in the real world, it has not been written by an academic in his Ivory Tower.

Q: A consultant proposed some initiatives which failed. How will this book be different?

A: This book does not only propose principles, best practices and procedures that work when implemented, but most importantly guides you during their implementation and anticipates the most common problems companies & managers in your situation might face. This book does not ignore problems; it solves them.
