In this book, “What is this thing called Theory of Constraint” he says, the novel became a best seller because he used the Socratic method in his dialogues. He said, this kind of narrative, made the readers feel they were solving the problems, faced by the protagonist on the factory floor. The readers were always thinking a couple of steps ahead of the author. He says, he never intended to use the Socratic method, but somehow the novel had this style.

[[Socratic Method]] is a form of critical thinking. It encourages the reader to think critically, ever heard the phrase, ask why, why, why, till you reach the “I”. The “I” is the solution to the problem, call it alleviating the constraint so that the bottlenecks are eased and the plant can meet its manufacturing capacities.

The whole premise is that the Socratic method of critical thinking transfers the ownership of the idea from the leader to the workers or followers. When an agent (employee) feels empowered, he/she will feel motivated to act as an owner and this solves the agent/principle problem also.
