Five Knows Excerpt By Lussier

In the Five Knows excerpt written by Lussier (2000), five different, but related knows are discussed as aspects of successful management, information gathering, planning, and problem solving. Each of these aspects are things an individual should know in order to be a successful manager. Team 2 discussed each of the five knows and gave varying responses as to which one they felt was most important to them.
Brenda and Christina favored “knowing what you know when you know it.” Brenda said she favored this because it is one she encounters on a regular basis with the production workers in her organization. Christina also chose this "know" because it was relatable to her and her organization.
