I too feel that leading by example is a very positive way of helping people to adopt quality practices. Another one of the messages that I use when it comes to quality is the positive influence of helping them understand that they own the company they work for and that it's not just a department that's affected by negative quality but the company as a whole. I often ask my employees how they would feel if the company had their name on it and it seems to have a better impact at getting through to the focus of quality. I also explain to my employees that the dollars spent on just one investigation to correct an issue can be greater than the cost of the product itself, and effects profit sharing and raises.

Quality is what we all want and what we strive for each and every day. No one goes into a position or takes on a project with the attitude of "I am going to do a bad job." But sometimes a quality outcome is not what results. Our job as leaders is to inspire quality, be the best example of quality, live it every day with every interaction. When our teams see leadership putting quality at the top, then they are sure to follow...nobody wants to be left behind. And when quality is not what comes, then address it and move on with an encouraging voice and a kind heart. Quality is what we all want!

Getting people excited about quality takes more than just setting rules. They need to help make the rules. Bring your team together to talk about what quality means for your work. Ask them what's important. Listen to their ideas for how to do things well. This gives them a voice and makes them want to follow the standards. Remember too that building good habits takes time. Teach people as you go. Notice and praise when they make little steps forward. Quality matters, but helping people see why takes patience. With a supportive approach, you can get folks to care about quality. They'll see it's not just rules but a way to do good work they can be proud of. Keep it simple and positive. Quality happens when people make it their own.

Leadership is the most important (and the most challenging) part of quality management that organisations tend to overlook. Quality management is often seen as a technical role, but good leadership is what makes a great system. To get people involved in any quality activities you need to be able to show what’s in it for them. Most see quality work as an ‘add-on’ to their day-to-day task, so participation and engagement require a purpose beyond compliance. I believe leading with empathy, trust, and passion is key. Having confidence in your process (and yourself), serving the team, and creating an environment where everyone feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute drive involvement and nurture a quality culture.

An overwhelming majority, nearly everyone, wants to do their job well. Major strides can be made in quality by gamifying precision. One way to do this is by displaying control charts of results in prominent locations such as the critical control points. Teach operators to understand the chart and they will take pride in their contributions to collective quality.

Tap into frontline insights - set up suggestion boxes, chat groups for ideas. When tackling issues, ask for research volunteers and recommendations. Recognize contributions publicly, incentivize with small rewards. Celebrate wins as a team - build shared quality culture. Empower people to test new approaches without fear of blame. Stay curious, keep innovating together. Quality is a journey. Engage team in that journey - their input and ownership will motivate continuous improvement.

Quality works are similar to long travels. Both need well equipped, well trained, well motivated, well talk oriented teams. For companies a "quality council" that will be formed by special talk oriented small quality teams, will improve and infuse quality standards, aims, targets etc. in all divisions of the company.

I once hear, "Safety saves lives but Quality saves jobs". Now, Quality needs to speak "business" to enable a harmonized inside language that drives a culture where Quality is inside its bones.

Leading by example is key. Show dedication to quality in your work - no cutting corners. Welcome feedback and implement it graciously. Own mistakes sincerely and focus on fixing them. Share your journey openly - challenges, small wins, lessons from staying committed. Stay humble and keep growing. Make time to recognize others' efforts. Your team watches you. They'll emulate your mindset and practices when you walk the talk consistently. Demonstrate quality requires patience, vulnerability, care from all. Your consistency and integrity will inspire.

This is critical. Quality requires integrity. Integrity means when you make a mistake, own it. Understand it. Correct it. Improve. Move forward.

Implementation of "quality perspective" is very much related with characteristic of "leadership" leaders should know this basic fact very well and they should "progress" and "improve" their atitudes. Otherwise they cannot lead the company community. In quality works, "quality leadership" is not "given" or "assigned" position or statue. Quality leadership should be formed by leaders progressively as a process. This process for leaders need to be open mind and analytical thinking, consistente behaviours, open to negotiation etc.

I would dare to say that there are no work practices that are done solely by one individual. We MUST involve others. We MUST ask questions from those closest to the work. We MUST be collaborative to hear the best practices, obstacles and next steps. Our teams have amazing insights ... let's harness that for the sake of quality!

Rally your team around shared purpose - how does quality enable you to help people? Ask them to envision the human impact. Quality becomes about craft, not just metrics. Spotlight behaviors showing your values - thoroughness, care, teamwork. Admit times you fell short and learned. Your honesty inspires growth. Use reminders in meetings and workspace to reinforce quality focus. Small consistent actions sustain excellence. With patience and care, your team will take ownership of quality, driven by purpose. When people connect work to what matters, quality becomes personal. Clarity of purpose unlocks their best.

Schedule regular stakeholder discussions focused on identifying barriers and possible solutions. The key is empowering the team to solve their own challenges by identifying solutions that may not be apparent to those outside of the role.

Leaders usually think that encouraging and motivating teamwork are related with some physicological processes such as convincing, motivating, encouraging, promoting, giving task oriented directions etc. Encouraging and motivating team work is more than this. It includes aboves of course, but motivation and collaboration processes and its mechanisms should be "designed" as a part of whole quality standards of the company.

Allow the team to follow the results of their hard work. Did their efforts save production costs, reduce defects, reduce issues resolution time, etc.? Management owes the team insight into the collective accomplishments.

Coaches don’t know everything. They don’t play in the game. They should know the basics of their sport. Nobody knows more about how to win a game than the players on the field, on the court, on the ice, in the pool, on the track, etc. Talk to your players to find out which plays they like and why they like them. Find out how they would change the game plan. There are no bad suggestions and everyone needs to be evaluated and tweaked. A team is not a coach telling players what to do. A team is the coach, the players, the equipment manager, the water boys and anyone else who can affect the chances of winning. Keep them informed. Keep them engaged. As a coach you are conducting a “symphony” of specialized players.

Feedback is a great opportunity for continuous improvements in way of thinking. Thus us essential and important, because we are producing goods and services for "others" who need to use them. Therefore, feedbacks coming from "others" will be very helpful and beneficial for innovative designs and user friendly simplicity...

Creating a new vision supported by leading quality standards will eventually initiate a movement for improving or adapting established quality standards for better quality standards. According to me, the most important role of "vision" supported by better quality standards is this.

To create a link between team members personal best to providing best in class CX is one of the most important aspects of leadership's role. When people feel inspired they fully embrace change and deliver on organisational vision with impeccable precision and pride.

Set the expectation that your organization can be "the best of the best" and that happens with continuous improvement. Celebrate the "wins"! Celebrate the opportunities for improvement (OFIs) as they are a place to recognize where the team can come together and do something in a different way for a better outcome. Involve the team members in audits and assessments as that is how they learn to find those OFIs.

In my opinion, quality must be part of organizational culture to be effective. Accordingly, Quality leadership sets the tone of this culture by modeling the behaviors expected from their organization. When quality is at the foundation, everything built upon it will adhere to that standard at a minimum.

According to me, we have to think more about improving established quality standards by considering existing natural resources, people's "real" needs and necessities, facts of human nature, scientific and technical availabilities etc. As a conclusion, we have to be "realistic" in various point of view when "setting" new quality standards.
