I posted my daily Thanksgiving reflection today and thought I'd share this on Activerain for a thought provoking day.
Day 8: I am Thankful for my dad believed in me; and that I was capable of more than what I had already achieved. That belief instilled in me a personal Mantra, TQM, and I hope I have instilled that into my children.
I apply TQM personally and professionally. I think my dad is looking down upon me smiling.
What is TQM? Based on Peter Drucker's leadership philosophy "Total quality management (TQM) is the organization-wide effort to install and make permanent a climate in which it continuously improves its ability to deliver high-quality products and services to customers." - Wikipedia
I am a perfectionist, which many find to be bad, but is it? I am not really trying to be "perfect" rather striving for continuos self-improvement, proactivley. In fact, I just finished two books recently that challenged my way of thinking just to see where I need to adjust myself. I think that's a good thing.
Regardless of your values, it would be prudent to develop a personal mantra to take yourself to the next level.
