service) which are required by the customer.
Quality management means what the
organization does to:
ensure that its products or services satisfy
the customer's quality requirements and
comply with any regulations applicable to
those products or services.

administration, or a government
department.

no matter what the organization's scope of
activity
if it wants to establish a quality
management system, ISO 9001 gives the
essential features

the essential features.

Accreditation is like certification of the certification body.


Certification is a decision to be taken for
business reasons:
if it is a contractual, regulatory, or market
requirement,
If it meets customer preferences
it is part of a risk management program, or
if it will motivate staff by setting a clear
goal.

1. Law of the Lid: Leadership ability determines personal and organizational


level of Effectiveness

Point of the Principle on the Lid


•An organization will never surpass the
capabilities of its leaders.
•If the leadership is strong, the lid is high
•The lower an individual's ability to lead,
the lower the lid on his potential.
– if your leadership were an 8, your
effectiveness can never be greater than
a 7.
– Your organization will never grow more
than the 7
– Because you are the lid.
•The Lid represents the limit of our
