You want continual improvement? Then I challenge every employee in an organization to discard the status quo and ask themselves everyday, How can I improve my job?, then find a way to make it happen.

Restless thoughts are a kind of mental 'static' which must be silenced if we are to hear the whispers of our inner self.

When it comes to continual improvement programs, the biggest mistake is a failure to launch, the biggest hurdle is culture.

With Lean Six Sigma, the tools are the easy part, changing organizational culture is the hard part.

If you get invited to be part of a team, don't look at it as a burden to get out of, but rather an opportunity to inspire, invigorate, and bring life to the team.

Don't let the fear of statistics keep you from launching a continual improvement program. The statistics hurdle is easily overcome, going out of business is not.

Never tickle a sleeping dragon.

In joy or sorrow, feebleness or might, Peace or commotion, be thou, Father, my delight.

Remember that whatever you do or wherever you are, you are never alone.

Those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat the eleventh grade.

Do you hear the rain? Do you hear the rain?

You can't move people to action unless you first move them with emotion. The heart comes before the head.

Defense. That' the thing I'm known for.
