C4: CRITICAL CLEANING FOR CONTAMINATION CONTROL: In Development of Technology, Patience is Key

摘要

Most of my industrial career with a large chemical company was spent doing development work. One lesson I learned only late, and with difficulty, was the importance of patience in the development of technology. This column uses three stories to explore different aspects and emphasize the importance of patience. We have all worked with or for people for whom patience was not a priority. In fact, I have been, and maybe still am, one of those. But I learned much of what little I know about the use of patience from the most successful college basketball coach, John R. Wooden.
