Dream

^{Matthew 12:36} 
 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.

^{Psalm 103:12}  

as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

I had a dream a few weeks back where I was bowing before the record keeper in God's kingdom in complete shame. He was reading out my whole life for all to hear. And as he was reading he came to a spot where I had sinned and just as he was about to read that part, it appeared that all of heaven shouted out "covered by the blood of Jesus". He then skipped over this part and continued on. This happened many times. I started to wonder foolishly why none of the good things I had done meant anything. I quickly realized I was being self-righteous and that only Jesus can save us, and no one else.

W. Edwards Deming

I think business in North America has not fully understood the words of W. Edwards Deming. Here are some comments that strike me.

“Management‘s overall aim should be to create a system in which everybody may take joy in his work.” Dr. W. Edwards Deming
or in other words "Pride in workmanship"

"Eliminate management by objective. Eliminate management by number and numerical goals. Instead substitute with leadership"
Because all numerical and objective goals can be hacked to help the individuals but not the whole company. How much of a managers day is spent on artificial numbers?

"Break down barriers between departments. People in research, design, sales, and production must work as a team, in order to foresee problems of production and usage that may be encountered with the product or service."
I believe not only foresee problems but also become innovative, fast reacting etc. as a team
