Great leaders inspire everyone by this simple question "Why" to
take action and achieve remarkable results. "Why" lets you think outside of the
box and stand out ahead of the crowd. Inspiring people is not about how to do
things and what to do, but it is about WHY to do. Know the power of the three letter word "WHY?"
WHY? - SOLVES YOUR PROBLEM FROM IT’S ROOT
Solving root causes by corrective action will avoid recurring non
conformity. Whenever you have a nonconformity/defect in your business process,
asking WHY leads you to the root cause. Most managers lack the skill of
identifying the root cause. As a result they will only rectify the symptoms and
not the cause. Your business can lose a lot when a correction is performed
instead of a corrective action. Read Correction Vs Corrective Action
WHY - RESULTS IN FORMULATING EFFECTIVE PROCEDURES
Effective procedures are a key for business success. Your corrective action process will result in formulating effective procedures. Continual improvement can be achieved only if you have well written practical procedures.
