A Quote by W. Edwards Deming

You can expect what you inspect. — © W. Edwards Deming
You can expect what you inspect.
People don't do what you expect but what you inspect.
One mentor I had taught me that people do what you inspect, not necessarily what you expect. In other words, if nobody is watching, there will be some slack off.
We have a very old saying in our household: 'Inspect what you expect.' You hold people accountable, and I use my business background for finding the most efficient and effective solutions to deliver the result we're looking for.
The presidency is not an office job. If I only sit in the office in Dar es Salaam, I'm not running the country. I visit the country to inspect development programmes, to inspect activities, to see how things are going, how the government agenda is being implemented, what are the teething issues.
To speak only of food inspections: the United States currently imports 80% of its seafood, 32% of its fruits and nuts, 13% of its vegetables, and 10% of its meats. In 2007, these foods arrived in 25,000 shipments a day from about 100 countries. The FDA was able to inspect about 1% of these shipments, down from 8% in 1992. In contrast, the USDA is able to inspect 16% of the foods under its purview. By one assessment, the FDA has become so short-staffed that it would take the agency 1,900 years to inspect every foreign plant that exports food to the United States.
If you are seeking to obey the Lord, expect opposition. Expect obstacles. Expect difficulties. But also expect God to see you through
Expect the Best, Expect Divine Guidance, Expect your Fortunes to Change, Expect a Miracle!
Respect People, Inspect Ideas.
You cannot inspect quality into the product; it is already there.
Expect your every need to be met, expect the answer to every problem, expect abundance on every level, expect to grow spiritually. You are not living by human laws. Expect miracles and see them take place. Hold ever before you the thought of prosperity and abundance and know that doing so sets in motion forces that will bring it into being.
Every team I'm on, I expect to win. I expect to push my teammates as much as I can, and I expect them to do the same with me.
People may expect too much of journalism. Not only do they expect it to be entertaining, they expect it to be true.
Even the finest workman needs to inspect his work critically.
Inspect every piece of pseudoscience and you will find a security blanket.
I have zero tolerance for people who don't come completely prepared. I expect contribution, I expect attendance, and I expect directors to take trips and visit the company's programs.
Usually, when I walk on a wire, I inspect the anchor point on both sides before crossing.
