"The longer I live, the more I am certain that the great difference between the feeble and the powerful, between the great and the insignificant is energy-invincible determination a purpose once fixed, and then death or victory. This quality will do anything that can be done in this world." Sir Thomas BuxtonDuring the 1980s, the Milliken textile company dramatically improved its customer service, product quality, and financial performance through an intense quality improvement effort. They eventually won a national quality award in recognition of their success. To promote the improvement process, office and factory walls were plastered with quality slogans and everyone wore gold lapel pins with the word "Quality." Very early one morning, at the height of their drive for higher quality, CEO Roger Milliken arrived ready to address a team meeting in one of the manufacturing plants coming off the night shift. The manager who met him asked, "Where's your quality pin?" Roger looked down at his lapel, smacked his forehead, and said, "Oh my God! I must have left it on my pajamas."That's either very fast thinking or a great example of commitment to the quality improvement cause! A...more

One of life's joys is buying a new car. The excitement of looking through those glossy brochures, choosing the brand, model, colour, plus the features is incredible. Ask most men and I'm sure they'll tell you it's one of the things they enjoy most in the world. And these days, with women reported to be involved in over 80% of all new car purchases, women are getting hooked fast on the pleasure of buying a new car.However, if there is one thing that can detract from the enjoyment of buying a new car, it is the finances of the whole deal. This is not just speaking about the price of the new car, although this can be considerable. There is also the issue of all the hidden, and not so hidden extras that you have to pay for. For example, before you finalise the price of the car, you have to find out what features come as standard, and if you want to have any additional features, be they for safety, power, style or any other reason, you have to make sure that you calculate the extra cost of them into the price of the car.Then, added to this is the delivery cost if there is one. Plus any other hidden dealer fees for whatever reason. Then you have to deal with financing charges. You may be...more
