Keys to Success
• Leadership Commitment
– Make it about improving your business – not “Baldrige” or
winning an award
– Leaders get the behaviors they exhibit and reward
• Systems Perspective
– Managing your whole organization, as well as its components,
to achieve success
– Working ON your organization vs. working IN your organization
• Focus on Results
– What gets measured gets done
– What gets charted gets improved
