Excerpt from Housebuilding in Transition The purpose of this book is explained in chapter 1. As the reader progresses, it will be clear that in order to describe the housebuilding industry to economists and other interested observers, such as materials suppliers, lenders, government personnel, and legislators, I have included descriptions of technical processes which may be basically familiar to builders. I felt it necessary to furnish sufficient technical facts so that students and other readers can understand why certain procedures are employed. At the same time, I felt that these descriptions are also important to builders. An orderly presentation of the actual steps in constructing a house will enable them to reexamine their own operations with a view to improving their methods, by offering an insight into the logic of many procedures that are frequently taken for granted. Even an abbreviated list of acknowledgments must be long. The basic research for this book was performed under contract (No. O-E-50) with the Administrator, Housing and Home Finance Agency, results of which were submitted in a report dated August 31, 1951. I am particularly indebted to that agency and to the University of California Bureau of Business and Economic Research, which was a joint sponsor of that project. Their staffs, under the direction of Dr. Richard Ratcliff and Dr. Frank Kidner, respectively, aided greatly in the furtherance of this study. Mr. Jack Rogers, my associate in the above project, gave valuable assistance throughout, particularly in connection with the Statistical Appendixes, many of which stand in the approximate form in which he developed them. Mrs. Betty Ballantine Hogan assisted in the writing of the results. Mr. George Pucci, Robert Williams, Wells Keddie, Fred Maisel, Willard Wall, and many others shared in gathering the basic data. Mrs. Jerry Honeywell Hobbs and Mrs. LaVerne Rollin performed the initial editorial and secretarial work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In this UPDATED SECOND EDITION (first edition titled "Crucial Confrontations"), you'll learn how to hold anyone accountable, master performance discussions, and get results. Behind the problems that routinely plague our organizations and families, you'll find individuals who are either unwilling or unable to deal with broken promises. Colleagues break a rule, coworkers miss a deadline, friends fail to live up to commitments (or just plain behave badly), and nobody says a word. Nobody holds anyone accountable. With repeated infractions, individuals become increasingly upset until they finally do speak their minds, but they do so poorly--often creating whole new sets of problems. Research proves that mishandled disappointments aren't just morale killers, they're institution killers--diminishing organizational performance by 20 to 50 percent and accounting for up to 90 percent of all divorces. Everyone knows how to run for cover, or, if sufficiently provoked, step up to problems in a way that causes a real ruckus. Crucial Accountability teaches you how to deal with violated expectations in a way that solves the problem at hand without harming the relationship--and, in fact, even strengthens it. Broken promises, missed deadlines, poor behavior--they don't just make others' lives miserable; they can sap up to 50 percent of organizational performance and account for the vast majority of divorces. Crucial Accountability offers the tools for improving relationships in the workplace and in life and for resolving all these problems--permanently.

Whether you're a CEO, a parent, or merely a person who wants to make a difference, you probably wish you had more influence with the people in your life.

You'll learn how savvy folks make change not only achievable and sustainable, but inevitable. You'll discover breakthrough ways of changing the key behaviors that lead to greater safety, productivity, quality, and customer service.
