Using the Science of Quality Management
Penelope Knows Quality
Career quest and 5-star movement-focused author, business process optimization expert, and expressionist artist, Penelope Przekop, spent the last twenty-five-plus years moving toward the authentic career, and life, she now enjoys. After learning to apply the proven science of quality management, that changed the global economic landscape following World War II, and, more recently, ushered the 5-star rating system into our cultural consciousness, she began applying it to her personal life. In her upcoming book, 5-Star Career, Penelope introduces the science of quality management to readers, explains how it may be the missing link needed to finally get and stay on your best, authentic path, and shares how this amazing science played a key role in her years-long struggle to move beyond a deeply troubled childhood and suicide attempt at 19 to an authentic, happy adult enjoying a 5-star career.
