Dell
Ultimately, our people know that they're what
drives the business. They know their success drives the company's success,
rather than the other way around," says
Michael Dell, Founder of
Dell Inc.. "Knowledge brings power, whether
it's knowing how a business works or knowing the right way to serve a
customer. All of our

experimenting
and
questioning and
learning
is done in pursuit of one goal: finding the next frontier of

value that we
can create for our customers. Giving your people the knowledge, the
abilities, and the permission to do what they do best – and take it to the
heights of "ownership" – brings more success to a company than anything else
I've found."...

Jack Welch
has always said that
GE's primary product and core competence is not jet engines or gas turbines,
but
people. One of the most fundamental truths about Welch's management
principles is that it's about people, not numbers. "We are constantly amazed by
how much people will do when they
are not told what to do by management," says Welch. "Our true

'core
competency' today is not manufacturing or services, but the global recruiting
and nurturing of the world's best people and the cultivation in them an
insatiable desire to
learn, to
→
stretch,
and to do things better every day...
→
values
and behaviors are what produce those performance numbers, and they are the
bedrock upon which we will build our future."
In most organizations,
→
change efforts
come and go – and
→
rarely make a difference.
But at GE, one of the largest companies in the world, one particular change
process helped spark a complete transformation –
Work-Out. With Work-Out as
part of its DNA, GE has become one of the most
→
innovative, profitable, and
admired companies on earth.
At its core, Work-Out is a very simple concept
based on the premise that those closest to the work know it best. When the
ideas of those people, irrespective of their functions and job titles, are
solicited and turned immediately into action, an unstoppable wave of
creativity, energy, and productivity is unleashed throughout the
organization. At GE, Work-Out "Town Meetings" gave the corporation access to
an unlimited resource of imagination and energy of its talented employees...

Colin Powell's 18
Leadership Principles
Organization doesn't really accomplish
anything. Plans don't accomplish anything, either. Theories of
management
don't much matter. Endeavors succeed or fail because of the
people involved.
Only by attracting the best people will you accomplish great deeds...
