Leadership

“Everything falls and rises on leadership”. Our focus in the June edition of our monthly Quality Digest is:

LEADERSHIP

Leaders establish unity of purpose and direction of the organization. They should create and maintain the internal environment in which people can become fully involved in achieving the organization's objectives. Leadership is one of the 8 principles of QMS.

Key benefits:

1. 1. People will understand and be motivated towards the organization's goals and objectives.
2. 2. Activities are evaluated, aligned and implemented in a unified way.
3. 3. Miscommunication between levels of an organization will be minimized.

Applying the principle of leadership typically leads to:

1. 1. Considering the needs of all interested parties including customers, owners, employees, suppliers, financiers, local communities and society as a whole.
2. 2. Establishing a clear vision of the organization's future.
3. 3. Setting challenging goals and targets.
4. 4. Creating and sustaining shared values, fairness and ethical role models at all levels of the organization.
5. 5. Establishing trust and eliminating fear.
6. 6. Providing people with the required resources, training and freedom to act with responsibility and accountability.
7. 7. Inspiring, encouraging and recognizing people's contributions.

“The speed of the leader determines the speed of the group.” – Mary Kay Ash.

“The ability to deal with people is as purchasable as a commodity such as sugar or coffee and I will pay more for that ability than for any other thing under the sun.” – John D. Rockefeller.

It goes without saying that QMS in any organization does not have any colour apart from the one it is given by the management.
