As you read, it is highly recommended that you take a deep dive into your company’s quality management system, the lessons learned from the author and ask how these can be applied to help you grow as a Quality Professional and how you can help your business grow into a leader in your industry. -Review by Steven Garner, Retired Director of Quality and Safety at Sierra Nevada Corp.
