Ms. Heller,
I'm not sure about companies and what they would do but as an employee,
I beleive, I would not be afraid to try it again. I beleive as more and
more people become aware that there are others that truly beleive and
practice TQM/LO principles that we will continue to become better at this,
whatever our motivations are. As long as I can recognize that these
things are "real" or at least have a good possibility of being "real" and
our directors really beleived in these principles (in word and in
actions), I could work in a positive direction to make our organization
better.
I just never realized it was possible until I entered this listserve.
Just a personal opinion. Take what you can use and throw the rest away.
