L'art de (se) diriger ( le blog de Laurent Pellegrin)

Summary of the Powel Principles according to Oren Harari 

1. Count on people more than plans: Without the best people who are empowered the best plans and organizational structures will very likely fail.
2. Assume that people are competent, and every task or job is important, until you are proved wrong: There is no such thing as an unimportant task or job.  Every role and every person is important.  If data or other evidence proves otherwise, make the appropriate changes, retool and/or retrain before you fire.
3. Spend at least 50% of your time on people: Leaders, like anyone else tend to do the easy things or the easy task.  Planning is easy or clean, people management or leadership is difficult or messy.  People not just plans provide your competitive advantage.  The leader must ensure the organization has an environment that allows growth and prosperity of people.
4. View people as partners, regardless of their place in the hierarchy: Most effective leaders see all people as partners with expertise and competence bringing valuable experience to the organization and the completion of the mission.
5. Become a servant leader, “working for” all your people: Help people accomplish the goals that support the mission and come from the vision.  Give them the tools and training they need and “turn them loose”.
