Management Wackamole

Printer-friendly version

Firefighting is a well-known management term for, well running around like a headless chicken doing work that is actually not productive or profit making. Some people take great pride in being the firefighter as it is also the role given to the person that is the best ‘get it done’ problem solver in the company. However, the fires themselves are nothing to be proud off. They are the result of problems in the system and management of the company and they never go away. They get knocked off one by one and another arises.

Using Quality Management to drive your business will significantly reduce what is essentially the management equivalent of wackamole!

By using Quality Management in a strategic manner you ensure that you coordinate all your efforts across the organization. If you don’t mange Quality in this way you will simply be using tools in a disjointed manner. By having Quality strategically focused you will find life SO much easier, focusing on productive work and increasing profit!
