Foreword

MP for Pasir Ris - Punggol GRC

Having attended some of Chor Hoong's programmes and facilitation sessions, I can bear testimony to the fact that she is one of those rare individuals who has a strong passion for quality and personal excellence. It is therefore timely that she has chosen to write The 8 Habits of Quality People, in which she shares her wealth of personal experience from many years of highly successful stints in several world class MNCs, in a friendly and simple-to-understand fashion.

The 8 Habits of Quality People is the first book as far as I know, that has been written about the habits of quality people.  It provides the framework for placing personal excellence and commitment to quality at the core. It paves and smoothens the way for personal change.

With much of the content of The 8 Habits of Quality People having solidified as a philosophy of life that I have embraced, I am thrilled that someone has chosen to fabulously articulate it in print. I have applied the essential messages of this book throughout a significant part of my life and parlayed the essential ingredients of this book into any and all the successes I have enjoyed to this day.

Chor Hoong has helped many Singapore companies improve on their respective quality journeys with impressive outcomes. This book encapsulates many of the principles and thoughts on quality that she has imparted and is a source of wise, practical advice for the individual.

The book is meaningful and beneficial reading, whether one is just looking for ways to enhance his or her quality of life, or one is seriously seeking to understand what it takes to elevate his or her personal value to business organisations they are associated with.  It contains many penetrating insights and pointed examples, principles which can be easily and readily applied to one's daily life.

The 8 Habits of Quality People is NOT associated with the famed The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey nor with Franklin Covey Co. in any way whatsoever.
