The Socratic method produces enlightened employees
Article Abstract:
The Socratic method of asking leading questions can lower employee resistance to change. Allowing employees to arrive at answers and problem solutions on their own also affords them the chance to learn and apply production and quality concepts. At the Lutron Electronics Company Inc, the headquarters series audit was eliminated in favor of certifying the manufacturing facilities. This has resulted in lower quality testing costs and shorter client lead time.
