-<blockquote>//__Eliminate slogans, exhortations__, and targets for the workforce asking for zero defects and new levels of productivity. __Such exhortations__ only create adversarial relationships, as the bulk of the causes of low quality and low productivity belong to the system and thus lie beyond the power of the workforce.//</blockquote>+<blockquote>//11b. Eliminate __management by objective__. Eliminate management by numbers, __numerical goals__. Substitute leadership.//</blockquote>
  
-I've never seen a single instance of a "Quality Policy", or lack thereof, have any impact on the QMS at all.+The primary reasons that Deming opposed “management by objective” are: 
 +  - The “objectives” are typically driven by emotion rather than data, are often outside of the [[:downloads#unilateral_cp-cpk_calculator|process's capability]]… and are therefore unachievable. This results in the workers being blamed rather than management focusing on improving the processes. 
 +  - When an “objective” is achieved, management celebrates success (e.g., the pizza party), losing sight of the true goal… which is continual improvement.
  
-Consequently, to the educated Quality Professional, ISO 9001 is a living philosophical battleground. +My experiences in performing ISO 9001 & AS91xx audits over the past 25 years support Deming's concerns.
