In the pursuit of continuing growth and bigger profits, American companies have tried a multitude of new management approaches in recent years. From Total Quality Management to customer partnerships, teams, and reengineering, organizations have employed a blinding array of initiatives in pursuit of growth and improved bottom line results.

Quinn Mills believes that one significant factor is essential to the success of any business enterprise - the true empowerment of the people within the organization.
