This is a must read.
You can clearly sense the Deming influence & sage wisdom.
It elegantly mixes short prologues with meatier bits and elegantly closes each section with an epilogue.

Readable, thought-worthy and relevant. The book although published 1994 is still ahead of it's time, leapfrog the competition and learn how to start building the foundation of tomorrows enterprise today.

Give a great overview of how to lead with facts and data rather than emotion. Great addition for those leading in process excellence or lean six sigma organizations.

1994? Why is this still relevant?
