How To Grow Your Organization

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Health & Well-Being, Improve Academy, Leadership, Management, Personal Development, Workplace Learning Report

Leadership development is self-development. To develop other leaders, you must start with yourself.

‘If developing ourselves as leaders is a lifelong process, then we should also expect the development of others in leadership to be an ongoing process that never ends.’

‘Grow a leader- grow the organization. A company cannot grow throughout until its leaders grow within.’

‘The strengths of any organization is a direct result of the strength of its leaders. Weak leaders equal weak organizations. Strong leaders equal strong organizations.

‘Good leaders want more for the people they lead than they want from them.’

‘If you desire to attract and develop leaders, you need to have the wind blowing with you, not against you.’

‘Leaders who genuinely listen and keep confidences gain the trust of the people they work with.’

‘Listening draws people to you, which works much better than trying to push your leadership on them. Empathy builds trust.‘

‘You can never get the best out of people if you don’t know who they are, where they want to go, what they care about, how they think, and how they want to contribute.’

‘As a leader, one of the most important things you can do with anyone you want to develop is to understand and connect with him or her.’

‘No matter how busy you are or how demanding your leadership situation, you will only be able to equip potential leaders effectively if you take the time to gather them close to you and invest time in them.’

‘The way you expand your potential is to help others expand theirs.’

Juran On Quality By Design

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Improve Academy, Innovation Management, Management, Workplace Learning

‘There should be no vagueness on the question of ‘Deployment to Whom?’

Chronic wastes are reduced through the quality improvement process.’

‘Creation of new wastes is reduced through revision of the quality planning process.’

‘The design for process control should provide the operating forces with the means for corrective action.’

‘A state of self-control consists of:

Knowing what the target performance is

Knowing what the actual performance is

Having the means for changing performance in the event of noncomformance

‘Product conformance decisions should ideally be made by the opperating forces at the lowest levels of organization.’

‘Proof of human controllability is best provided by demonstration.’

‘The question ‘Who is responsible for quality?’ is inherently unanswerable.’

‘One way to break out of the adversary relationship with suppliers is to experiment.’

‘All processes exhibit variability.’

‘Quality goals should be based on process capabilities rather than on prior process performance.’

‘Inadvertent human errors can be reduced through errorproofing.’

‘Product development requires not only functional expertise; it also requires use of a body of quality-related know-how -the quality disciplines.’

‘Goals should be written out. This discipline helps to assure that goals are understandable.’

‘Customers’ needs are a moving target.’

‘Who is responsible for quality?’
