WhereDoWeStartasLeaders?• Start with a theory • Use PDSA – Plan - Do - Study - Act • Abandon “Flavor of the Month” • Learn about:
– Constancy of purpose – Adopt the new philosophy – Improve constantly and forever – Institute learning and self-improvement for all – Leadership by training people – through example – Break down barriers – Drive out fear (build trust)
• This enables your transformation • Which enables the organizational transformation!
