Much like it takes the commitment and dedication of an entire team to win the Super Bowl, World Series, NBA Finals or Stanley Cup, it takes the same tireless effort throughout a company to achieve quality.
The mantra is changing from senior management must buy into quality to everyone must buy in to the quality program. Teamwork is prevalent at the top five companies in this year’s Quality Leadership 100-Quality Bolt & Screw Co., Wieland Designs, HCC Inc., Thule Inc. and Paulo Products Co. As a matter of fact, HCC Inc.’s motto is “excellence through teamwork.”
