"What is on your reading list?"- my question
While on a factory visit I asked many of the mangers that question. Every single one of them was reading a book and many had been to other plants to see their best practices.
Wow!
During one conversation I offered to one of the managers that I had written a book. Within an hour or so he had printed out the information for my book and asked me to do an hour presentation on it.
I said OK. Since I did not have a topic to prepare on I decided to tailor my presentation on my book and relate it to quality issues. Pulling some slides from top of my head and previous presentations I created a skeleton on which I can build a talk.
It has been six months since I stool before an audience. I was a bit nervous. Something that has not happened in years. It was good nervous energy.
I believe that the presentation went well. I heard some good comments. Amazingly they had purchased the book, the book arrived, and had me sign a few copies. Print on demand is very fast!
Without trying to make it happen, this day was the start of the The Result book tour. THANKS for the push ABB.
Today's question is:
"Did you do something unexpected today?"
