Success Leaves Clues
When you closely examine professional success, you will find that success leaves clues! Professional success and recognition from a peer group is one of the highest honors bestowed upon a practitioner of Lean Six Sigma. It then becomes a game of inches when determining honors and recognition that is awarded. The best of the best always work just a little bit harder, have just a little more focus and reach just a little bit higher for the achievement. Professionals celebrate the success of peers and they let that success drive them to the next level. The years of focus, leadership and just plain old fashioned hard work elevate them to the pinnacle of the Lean Six Sigma profession. Start looking at the clues of success. Get out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself to rise higher. Constant and consistent quality improvement is the hallmark of the Lean Six Sigma professional.
