Deming on Leadership
Here is an interesting personal story of a run-in I had with Deming several years ago that had a profound impact on my understanding of leadership.

5 Management Mistakes in Using Data
Deming taught us that many managers make things worse rather than better by the way they react to data. I would like to hear your opinions on whether you see this in your organization. Here are just 5 reasons why managers use data inappropriately.

Concepts of TQM and Lean
I have lived and worked through many of the phases of the Quality Revolution and have personally studied with many of the legendary Quality Gurus, like Deming, Juran, and Joiner. Often the articles and books on TQM (Total Quality Management) portray the world as an ideal place and describe theories in ways that are neat and tidy. The real world is a messier place, and the theories need to be integrated in that environment so they will actually work.

All too often organisations go for the quick fix - dealing with the immediate rather than the underlying causes of problems. In this article Doug Long argues for a leadership approach to getting desired results.
Saving Motion, Time and Your Business
Conventional wisdom is that motion time study is only useful in the manufacturing industries, but the Indians are proving it can be applied to improve nearly any business from call centers to software development. Can we afford to ignore their success any longer?

Lead by Example – Do the Important Things Better
Modern management practices are often imposed by the forces which require short term results. Back in the 1980s, W. Edwards Deming, a statistician by training, led the charge in seeking to implement a positive alternative for transforming management from this short-sighted objective.
