< Go Back The 10 Commandments of Continuous Improvement Posted: Mar 20, 2015 The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything said W C Magee in a sermon in 1868. In other words making mistakes is fine, and sometimes even desirable, so long as you learn something valuable from them that will improve your performance in the future. This applies equally to your business life and your personal life.
So, with this in mind, here are what I light-heartedly call The 10 Commandments of Continuous Improvement. Remind yourself of them daily and keep your mind and your attitude open and flexible. No-one knows what s around the corner so stay focused and learn to bend with the wind.
Abandon fixed ideas.
Problems are opportunities.
Think of ways to make it possible.
Seek ideas from many people.
Ask why? five times.
Use your ideas, don t hide them away.
Go for the simple solution, not the perfect one.
No excuses needed.
Correct mistakes straight away.
There is no end to improvement.
