Quality Digest: How to Use Mistakes to Improve Quality; Stop Spending Money on Training?

I was recently interviewed by Megan Wallin-Kirth for an article she wrote for Quality Digest.

So I'm happy about how that turned out.

How to Use Mistakes to Improve Quality

Stop Spending Money on Problem-Solving Training

Focus on psychological safety instead
