Inculcating Quality Concepts in the US Air Force: Right Music, Wrong Step

Abstract

In its effort to inculcate total quality management concepts, the Air Force neglected to consider critical aspects of educational psychology. As a result, concepts were neither universally understood nor accepted, and an attitudinal backlash undermines the future Quality Air Force culture. Subject matter based on military history and experience, and a reoriented philosophy toward initial quality education and training, provides a different approach to inculcating quality concepts. Inculculating, Concepts, Air Force, Music, Step.
