People need to know how their job contributes.

W. Edwards Deming
The result of long-term relationships is better and better quality, and lower and lower costs.
W. Edwards Deming
You have to manage a system. The system doesn't manage itself.

Forces of Destruction: grades in school, merit system, incentive pay, business plans, quotas.
