Summary

This is an upgraded and modernized version of my first book: Ten Mistakes Small Companies Make Implementing Quality— and How to Correct Them - 2008. In this re-write and update, I draw upon my own company, Transportation Quality Services (TQS), a consulting firm dedicated to improving the Quality of the items and products manufactured, and procured for our clients. Currently, we support the Transportation industry, but also work to assist vendors of a wide variety of products, most of which go into rail and bus vehicles. In the 30+ years in working in Quality, I have seen that too many small manufacturers and suppliers have missed out on dozens of contracts and the resulting opportunities by not having a documented, viable and productive Quality System in their company. Any Federal subsidized project requires the suppliers to be ISO registered, have a similar Quality System, or at least be ISO compliant. This book is a guideline for those companies. In this short, fun book I demystify the Quality Business and provide guidance for implementing a Quality System. For better Quality…for your Bottom Line. This book is also the guideline for a course Transportation Quality Services can teach at the business location on how to implement Quality Systems into any business.

    Learn a new model for understanding how organizations really operate and implement changes that get real results. 
With so many forces of change buffeting the business world today, a scary state of flux has replaced any sense of certainty, stability, and familiarity, delivering a wake-up call to make crucial changes happen, make them happen quickly, and make them stick.  Traditional approaches to change management fall into one of two categories: Organizations function like machines, where managers pull change levers to “fix” problems with an engineer’s mindset (IQ).   Or People form social networks wherein individual “influencers” make change happen by developing effective interpersonal relationships (EQ).  Neither of these models offer a full picture to what really happens in an organization. 
In this groundbreaking new book, change expert Siobhan McHale offers a third option: organizations are complex ecosystems that require a Hive Mind or Group Intelligence (GQ) to bring about meaningful and lasting change.  We can learn a lot of lessons from how bees operate:Hard work: An individual bee spends its entire 40-day life span gathering food for the hive.Teamwork: Inside each teeming beehive an entire community works collectively to achieve shared goals.Role clarity: Every bee has a specific job, with the queen, drones, and worker bees faithfully playing their part.Resilience: Bees can overcome daunting challenges, including all the parasites, pathogens, pesticides, and climate fluctuations from Maine to Miami and beyond. 
See how a hive mindset solves many of the common problems all businesses struggle with today!

    The Secret - What Great Leaders...

    The authors of Great Leaders Grow use a fable to lay out what is the secret to great leadership in this internationally bestselling guide. 
 
It’s a question that everyone in a position of authority—whether in a multinational corporation or a local volunteer group—wonders sooner or later. Here Ken Blanchard, whose books on leadership have sold over twenty million copies, and Mark Miller, who worked his way up from line worker to vice president of Chick-Fil-A, one of the largest fast-food restaurant chains in the country, uncover the secret that great leaders already know and detail what you need to do to truly inspire and motivate others. 
 
The authors get at the heart of what makes a leader successful using a classic business fable. Newly promoted but struggling young executive Debbie Brewster asks her mentor, “What is the secret of great leaders?” His reply—“great leaders serve”—flummoxes her, but over time he reveals the five fundamental ways that leaders succeed through service. Along the way, Debbie learns: 
 
 
 
• Why great leaders seem preoccupied with the future 
 
• How people on the team ultimately determine your success or failure 
 
• What three arenas require continuous improvement 
 
• Why true success in leadership has two essential components 
 
• How to knowingly strengthen—or unwittingly destroy—leadership credibility 
 
 
 
This new edition includes a leadership self-assessment so readers can measure to what extent they lead by serving and where they can improve. The authors have also added answers to the most frequently asked questions about how to apply the SERVE model in the real world. As practical as it is uplifting, The Secret shares Blanchard and Miller’s wisdom about leadership in a form that anyone can easily understand and implement. 
 
“You don’t have to be older to be a great leader. The Secret shows how to lay the foundation for powerful servant leadership early in your career to maximize your impact.” —Claire Diaz-Ortiz, Head of Corporate Innovation and Philanthropy at Twitter, Inc. and author of Twitter for Good and Hope Runs 
 
“When you learn The Secret, don't keep it to yourself. Share it and use it with your people. It will make a difference in their lives and their performance.” —Donald G. Soderquist, former Vice Chairman, Wal-Mart, and founder of the Soderquist Center for Leadership and Ethics, John Brown University 
 
“If you know The Secret, both relationships and results will prosper. It's a perfect move in your life from success to significance.” —Bob Buford, author of Halftime
