from Riding The Blue Train by Surinder Kumar and Bart Sayle

Some good ideas and interesting stories but the book was not remarkable. However, this quote stuck out to me.

A blog post on his site expressed some poignant wisdom.  I paraphrase…

All theories of improvement and quality control have upsides and downsides.  No perfect methodology exists.  Competent and dedicated leadership is what is needed to transform an organization.

That’s good stuff!
