There's one simple thing, that most senior executives (most people generally) don't do when they are looking for a job. They don't do it out of fear - and that fear is misguided - or, I suppose, out of shame. In today's job hunt we depend on our informal network of personal ambassadors to help unearth possibilities. And yet, most job hunters don't tell the very people who would want to be their personal ambassadors. Related Content: What's in a personal value and what are mine?

Most of us have fallen into our career. While the proportion of vocational to non- vocational degrees fluctuates, most people still end up in a career that just happened. They left school or college and looked around for a while, until eventually someone said to someone else, that Fred or Freda were looking for a job and sooner or later we started work.

In his address to Stanford Graduates in 2005, Steve Jobs said; "And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition". When we have an intuitive response to something it is often our personal values that are being touched upon. If it's a negative feeling then we are somehow anticipating that our personal values are going to be compromised.

Total Quality Management (TQM) is recognized as a prerequisite for survival. TQM has increased profitability in some corporations up to six times. There’s this thing that websites do. They use the term ‘metrics’ out of context. Their metrics are arbitrary, and they jerk the chains of sellers with figures that are unsubstantiated. They arbitrarily disable accounts. Sadly, this is what is thought of as “quality” in the digital age.

Also, to signal what TQM guru Deming called "constancy of purpose," choose a name that will always resonate, e.g., something tied to customers and service. For example, more than 20 years after electronics test equipment maker Teradyne launched its improvement program, managers still refer to it as TQM.
