A recent survery involving more than 1300 business professionals from around the world shows that companies incorporating Six Sigma into their corporate leadership programs were six times more successful than those without. In fact, because of this kind of training, 60 percent of Six Sigma professionals are promoted into leadership positions in their respective organizations. Below are some of the interesting figures.
About 85% of people who said their leadership programs were highly successful indicated that Six
Sigma was a key component of that training.
Only 15% of highly successful programs did not include Six Sigma.About 60% of the respondents said that people in their companies who have completed a Six Sigma ‘tour of duty’ are moved into new leadership positions.
Only 14% returned to their original jobs.
Michael Cyger, CEO and publisher of iSixSigma Magazine and iSixSigma.com, further explains, “We want leaders who are enthusiastic and passionate about what they’re doing. Those are exactly the skills and qualities that make Six Sigma professionals most successful and that Six Sigma helps build future leaders.”
The complete survey will be released in the September/October issue of iSixSigma Magazine.
