The Corporate Drain

“The Corporate Drain: Solutions for the Inefficient American Workplace” by Yoel Yohan is a no-nonsense look at the hidden forces that quietly sabotage productivity, morale, and efficiency inside many American companies. Drawing from over 37 years at UPS and a wealth of leadership experience, Yohan unpacks the systemic problems that most organizations ignore, wasteful processes, outdated habits, poor communication, and a lack of true accountability. He introduces the concept of the “drain,” where time, money, and talent are lost through inefficiencies that accumulate over time and go unchecked.

But this isn’t just a book about what’s wrong, it’s a practical guide for fixing it. Yohan provides actionable solutions rooted in lean thinking, operational excellence, and a philosophy of shared ownership. He challenges leaders to stop chasing vanity metrics and start creating systems that reward meaningful results. With real-world examples and clear strategies, “The Corporate Drain” is an essential read for managers, executives, and teams who want to stop the slow bleed and build an organization that performs with purpose.
