Author Steve Sanghi came to Microchip Technology in July of 1990. He knew the company was in bad shape because he previously worked for a VC firm that was trying to put together a merger between Microchip and another company. When the deal fell through, he was offered a job there. It wasnt until after he took the job that he realized what dire straits the company was in. Rather than quit (as many colleagues advised him to do) he dug in his heels and began to try to turn it around. He enlisted the help of his HR manager and they quickly began to build a program to revitalize the company through the revitalization of their employees. Within 3 years the company had turned it around enough to go publicand today it is the worlds number one supplier of microcontroller units. The authors believe the system they created are the reasons for their incredible turnaround and continued success. This book describes the Aggregate System, which represents a systematic and comprehensive approach to building exceptional corporate culture. It is achieved by aligning, integrating, and uniting all elements of the enterprise that influence employees performance.
