58. iMECE CIRCLE
Its first syllable is to be human,
Maximal satisfaction of the expected, and its result,
Everyone hand-in-hand,
Covering all; from the beloved to the sullen.
Effective input in the one hand, “love” in the heart and “real
leadership” in front.
Continuous “belief and trust from the heart” is necessary,
Illusions unwelcome no place for “untruth.”
Rarely, though, but there is slight, “Sweet Competition.”
Creation, production and progress – the objectives.
Learn what “İmece” really is, the “Collective spirit,”
Elucidating the way to the “Total Quality Person.”
Dr. Hayal KÖKSAL
