Fresh Perspective on Quality from Tanmay Vora

I have been meaning to tell you about a fresh and fabulous book written by one of my online pals, Tanmay Vora called #QUALITYtweet: 140 bite-sized ideas to deliver quality in every project. Tanmay is an expert on quality and I respect the way he thinks. If you and your team need to focus on quality (who doesn't), I recommend you pick up this book.

#QUALITYtweet is written in a fun way - it is a book of 140 thoughts about quality. Each idea has the potential to launch breakthrough conversations when explored. Tanmay shared the draft manuscript with me a few months ago and I was pleased to offer the following endorsement:

#QUALITYtweet’ is provocative. It serves delicious, bite-sized morsels about human aspects of quality that will feed every manager’s success.

Here are just a few examples from the book:

Mediocre people will rarely produce great quality, even with world-class processes.

Don’t reward heroic efforts for fixing problems that should have been avoided in the first place.

The weakest link in your team will still have a strong influence on the quality of your deliverable.

The quality of your work as a professional is also an assessment of your confidence, integrity, thinking, and self-worth.

That last one has the potential to change your approach to your work if you really think about it, doesn't it? I do a lot of coaching and it is often single thoughts like these that can inspire a more powerful approach and better results. Sometimes we need just a nudge and an ounce of inspiration. I think #QUALITYtweet would be a great and fun tool to launch the new year with a bang. Pick up your copy, now and be sure to check out Tanmay's blog here.
