   Three Rules to Reflect on for Long-Term Excellence
   on July 26, 2022
   
   This is an original article from the NIST Baldrige blog. Broadway
   legend André De Shields (YouTube) once shared his three cardinal rules of
   sustainability and longevity: Surround yourself with people whose eyes light
   up when they see you coming.  Slowly is the fastest way to get to where you
   want to be. The top of one mountain is the bottom of the next, so keep
   climbing!

   Manufacturers: It’s Time to Move from Operational Excellence to Inclusive
   Excellence
   on July 22, 2022
   
   This is an original article from the NIST Manufacturing Innovation Blog. In
   the wake of the killing of George Floyd two years ago, many organizations and
   companies made commitments to racial and social justice. Diversity, equity
   and inclusion (DEI) offices were created and DEI officers were hired. But
   have they been given the resources they need to succeed? Have they been given
   the teams and leadership buy-in to make real change happen?
