Bestselling author and quality guru Subir Chowdhury tackles a question that has haunted him in his work with many of the world’s largest organizations over the years.  Why is it that some organizations improve only incrementally, while others improve 50 times that? The ideas and training are the same. What is the difference?

In his compelling and empowering new book, Chowdhury shows us that what distinguishes one organization from another is its people. The best processes and training programs in the world will not succeed, unless we improve our organization’s culture, and nurture the skills, loyalty and passion of the people who make up our workforce, from the C-suite to the shop floor. He shows us why having a “caring mindset” is just as essential at work as it is outside work, and how it impacts our personal and professional success. What is a caring mindset and culture?  It is one built on straightforwardness, thoughtfulness, accountability, and resolve.   Individuals and organizations that embrace what Chowdhury calls these “STAR” attributes will shine.  Illuminated with stories from his consulting work and his personal life, Chowdhury encourages each of us to be the difference.

A powerful guide to living a successful life and career, The Difference will inspire you to care more deeply about what matters most—at work, at home, and in your community.

Subir Chowdhury is one of the world’s leading management consultants, who works with Fortune 500 companies to improve their processes, operations, quality and performance.  He is the bestselling author of The Power of Six Sigma, and The Ice Cream Maker.
