Sometimes as we discuss these things, we forget about the people in the trenches with the daily pressures of running the business and pumping out product (or taking care of patients, as we do). It's good to keep things in perspective. Excellent post, Andy.

Boy, when the Japanese arrived it was a continuous learning experience. Now, 22 years later I'm still rivited by what I've learned. Now, retired, I'm trying to pass-on the messages to local manufacturers.<br/>Thanks for your insight Andy.<br/>Michael Davis, Canada.

It amazes me how powerful Deming's statement about robbing workers of pride in workmanship is. I a Project Manager on a software team and one of the things I'm fighting against is the team's reluctance to continue improving because we're often told that the work we've done is "not that important" from our business sponsor. Your post helped highlight asking the team to do low-valued work is another way of limiting the opportunity to have pride in workmanship. Thanks for this post.
