Most companies today believe in continuous improvement. It is a gradual, one step at a time, improvement. The incremental improvements are small and uneven. Sometimes the companies abandon their improvement efforts as they lose energy in implementation. One of the key ingredients for success in continuous improvements is strong leadership. Leadership that can keep the momentum going despite failures and motivate everyone to embark on a journey with no destination. The process is very similar to evolution. Modern man has taken 2-4 million years to evolve. Can the companies of today wait so much?
