Four People Principles for Management

Paul Aldrich shares his key principles for people management. These principles are that:

• People are key to the success of organizations
• People, organizations and the environments that they exist in are complex
• The responsibility for people management is distributed throughout the organization, rather than being limited to a key function
• Leaders and managers need high quality advice

Occupational psychology, understanding of the physical workplace, CSR and leaders and managers in industry have informed the creation of these four principles.
