Removing barriers to pride of workmanship encourages what?

Removing barriers to pride of workmanship fosters a culture where employees take ownership of their work and feel a sense of responsibility towards the quality of the products they produce. When workers are encouraged to take pride in what they do, they are more likely to invest effort and care into their tasks. This increased engagement typically leads to improved craftsmanship and attention to detail, resulting in higher product quality.

Moreover, employees who are proud of their work are often motivated to go beyond basic requirements, seeking to improve processes and outcomes. As a result, the overall standard of the products produced reflects this commitment to quality. In contrast, compliance with regulations, exacting standards for employees, or focused training sessions may play a role in operational excellence, but they do not inherently cultivate the same intrinsic motivation and commitment to quality that comes from removing barriers to pride of workmanship.
