Six Sigma Leadership: The Key to Sustaining Contemporary Quality Programs

By Dr. Stephen C. Schoonover

Six Sigma methods represent a very significant advance in the application of quality principles to produce business impact. For many companies, these enhanced quality techniques have had a profound impact on business results because they represent a more systemic and systematic method (vs. a focus on compliance with standards).

Part of this broader approach has historically focused on human factors - training and recruitment in particular. This article, however, highlights how integrating critical leadership development best practices into Six Sigma initiatives through an organized program in concert with the mainstream approach can significantly enhance overall impact.
