Quality Quote – The art of persuasion is greater than the strength of force.

Quality Quote – “The art of persuasion is greater than the strength of force.” The North Wind and the Sun – Aesop’s Fables (Perry Index 46).

The fable of the North Wind and the Sun tells of a wager between the Northern Wind and the Sun, who both argue they are more powerful than the other. The Northern Wind attempts to use force to blow off the traveler’s coat, but to no avail, as the traveler pulls his coat tighter to ward off the cold. Following the North Winds effort, the Sun then uses persuasion by shining on the traveler, who finds the heat too much and removes his coat.

When management systems are being developed by ISO Consultants it is critical to obtain input from all stakeholders in order to obtain buy-in and ownership of the ISO Management System. By taking the path of persuasion and using consultation, streamlined management systems can be developed and adopted with much greater success than through a prescriptive or dictatorial approach.

Quality Quote – Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it

“Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.” most likely writer and philosopher George Santayana who originally wrote, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

If an organisation does not have a system for managing improvement items (non-conformities, incidents, customer complaints etc) then it is only a matter of time before the same situation recurs.

Continual Improvement – the key to not making the same mistake twice

One of the founding principles of Quality Management Systems is continual improvement. This ensures mistakes (complaints, non-conformities, etc) aren’t just corrected, but the action is taken to prevent recurrence of the situation. This system of continual improvement provides a framework to ensure:

  • The situation is corrected and the consequences dealt with
  • Root Cause Analysis is undertaken to determine the root cause/s of the situation
  • An assessment of the root cause/s is undertaken for previous or potential future recurrence
  • Action is taken to prevent recurrence – lessons are learned to ensure the same mistake doesn’t happen twice.

In an alternative context, uneducated and unaware world leaders who do not understand the lessons of history will certainly repeat the mistakes of the past, at the expense of their people. Just saying…

Quality Quote – An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind. Author – Gandhi? Louis Fischer? Henry Powell Spring? Martin Luther King?
