<strong>21</strong> Continuous Improvement Quotes<br />

A key role of a <strong>team</strong> <strong>leader</strong> is to inspire and motivate others to action. Quotes are a<br />

great way to do this.<br />

Quotes are usually short, sharp and make a point quickly. They often use rhyming,<br />

metaphors or pentameter to make them memorable and repeatable.<br />

Here are a few ways you can use these quote posters with your <strong>team</strong>:<br />

• Put them up around your office or workplace.<br />

• Introduce a quote and discuss it’s meaning at each <strong>team</strong> meeting.<br />

• Have a quote of the week for your <strong>team</strong> and get <strong>every</strong>one to try and abide by it.<br />

• Place them in a laminated menu frame on your desk.<br />

• Put them on your front counter or shop window to give your customers a lift.<br />

I trust you find these posters useful for your <strong>team</strong>. Be sure to check out<br />

to do better.<br />
