Principles of Successful Management
We believe that it is the primary task of an organization's leaders to develop and maintain
a philosophy of management that rests upon certain core principles. These principles include:
We believe that a commitment to these principles is necessary for enlightened management. An organization's Vision, missions, and strategies based on these principles will go a long way toward achieving synergy, where the goals of the individual and the organization are one and the same.
We can help senior management assess the degree to which these principles are followed in the organization. We can help understand why these principles are important and beneficial. Where invited, we can help to facilitate the development or strengthening of these principles.
- A belief that a balance between work and life is necessary for individual and organizational success
- A belief that commitment and devotion to important, worthwhile work is necessary for individual and organizational self-respect and happiness
- A belief that human creative potential is the most important organizational asset
- A belief that honesty, knowing the factual truth, is beneficial for the individual employees and the organization and, that its opposite, a climate of uncertainty, distrust, and paranoia, generates fear and destroys morale, creativity, and success
- A commitment to an employee selection and advancement process that uses criteria designed to promote these principles
- A commitment to functional leadership, where a leader is chosen for a particular job based on the needs of the job and the skills of the leader
- A belief that in the ideal organization, what is beneficial for the individual is beneficial for everyone in the organization and that its opposite, an organizational culture, where one's success can only come at the expense of others, leads to organizational failure
