Point 7 in Dr. Deming’s 14 obligations of management : Institute leadership (see point 12 and Chapter 8 in Out of the Crisis ). Supervision of management is in need of overhaul, as well as supervision of production workers. The phrase “institute leadership” is difficult to understand without context.

Leadership’s demonstration of their philosophy and practice of ethical behavior impacts the whole organization in education, government or commercial enterprises. Leadership’s example is critical. There is a strong correlation between quality and ethics. Yet, this is a flaw we are all susceptible to as human beings.

One of Dr. Deming’s 7 deadly diseases is: Emphasis on short-term profits: short-term thinking.

Deming discusses the interdependence of business in: Managing the Organization as a System. For example, in a bowling team each one plays his one solos, on the other hand in an orchestra it is all interdependence. Management’s job is to optimize the system. A good example of a system well optimized is a good orchestra.

Edwards Deming’s 14 obligations of management have opponents that argue the reverse is wise. Some believe it is good to “motivate” people by making them fearful, for example. Just telling people to work together doesn’t do much good if the management system drives them to different behavior.

If an organization needs to undergo significant change, that's a leadership issue, right? Old dogs will learn new tricks when the lead dog — or ape, or penguin, depending on the management fable of the moment — shows them off.
