The Awakening of the Soulful Leaders delivers a message of hope of a better world. Jaap Geerlof, a former CEO, introduces a new vision on the type of leadership required in tomorrow's world. Our world is changing rapidly and at the brink of the beginning of a new era. However, the present leadership is still based on a paradigm of a bygone era and thus not capable of solving the various crises our world is facing today, whereas the people in the street are progressively aware of an inevitable change. Our future leaders will have to be geared to guide the impending transformation. A transition that will not emerge automatically: future leadership requires an outright different set of core competences, which will have to be developed and trained.

The World Bank Group has made important contributions to poverty reduction in developing countries. But to stay relevant under the uncertain conditions that characterise today's global development context, the Bank Group needs to enhance its capacity to help clients cope with weak economic growth, address persistent disparities in development progress, and manage the increasingly global and cross-cutting nature of development solutions. The messages in this report from the Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) seek to help the Bank Group improve its programs and development outcomes. Thus the primary audience is Bank Group management. Additional audiences include other development organisations, nongovernmental organisations, and civil society organisations that are involved in development issues, as they also seek better development outcomes. This report addresses IEG's work over the last year, summarising findings from its evaluations and discussing the trends that are revealed. In particular, as a consequence of the Bank Group's rapid, large-scale response to the 2008-09 crisis, the Bank's remaining capital headroom precludes a comparable expansion should another crisis occur. In addition, the extent to which country programmes meet their objectives has yet to reach the performance target set in the Bank's Corporate Scorecard. Development outcome ratings of Bank-funded investment projects, as well as the outcome ratings for International Finance Corporation (IFC) investments, have recently declined. IEG's findings suggest that enhancing the quality of projects at their outset as well as their supervision would help reverse the decline in Bank project ratings; along the same line, improving IFC's work quality would strengthen the results of its investments. Evaluation evidence also underscores the importance of sustained dialogue with stakeholders and of high-quality analytical work to sharpen the understanding of client circumstances, which is essential for successful outcomes. Effective development solutions require intensified efforts by the Bank Group to work across conventional boundaries.

This book is a how-to manual for implementing a Statistical Process Control program for any type of business. It takes the unnecessarily complicated, sometimes-intimidating Statistical Process Control concept - thoroughly dissects and demystifies it while making it very easy to understand with a minimum of effort. While Statistical Process Control was originally created for manufacturing, this book contains many examples of how SPC can and should be applied in virtually any business to dramatically eliminate waste, improve quality and profits. The book also dispenses with much of the little used theoretical concepts of statistics that can bog down and increase costs of a quality improvement or Six Sigma program and presents SPC in a "meat & potatoes" approach designed to allow anyone to be able to master the basics of Statistical Process Control regardless of their level of education. This book is the product of the author's many years of experience learning about and teaching Statistical Process Control and his desire to share his knowledge in the hope that he can help others avoid some of the common mistakes usually made.
