Perspective

In this context, ‘respect for people’ means
understanding that all people have the ability
to learn and the right to be given
opportunities to learn.
Managers helping employees
freely choose how they solve
problems displays total
respect.
There is a world of difference
between helping people to see
and telling them they are
blind.
We believe people are capable of learning and taking on additional
responsibility, and if you create the right environment, people will
want to learn and will actively seek more responsibility.
Most of all we must trust that
people are capable of owning
and solving their own problems
with a little bit of help.
From first to last, Respect for People and a Blame Free Culture.
Extracts from a broadcast by Stephen Parry

Respect for people, trust and a blame‐free environment
‘Blame is not for failure, but it is for
failing to help‐out or to ask for help’
Jurgen Vig Knudstorp
LEGO CEO

Does the job design allow all staff to
engage with customers and users?
To what extent can staff modify solutions
without management permission?
Is everything forbidden unless permitted,
or is everything permitted unless
forbidden?
ENGAGING
™
Work
Climate
Determines
Performance

Do staff routinely share business
intelligence and improvement information
with senior management?
What is the management focus? -
employee utilisation, cost reduction and
work intensification or, creativity, customer
outcomes, problem solving, learning and
sharing knowledge, collaboration?
LEARNING
™
Work
Climate
Determines
Performance

Do Leaders foster a no-blame climate to
surface problems for teams to work on?
Do leaders routinely spend time at the
workplace solving front-line issues with
the staff?
Do leaders pay more attention to
efficiency-driven functional targets or
end-to-end effectiveness at creating
customer and user outcomes?
Who does the Leading? A few select
people or most people?
LEADING
™
Work
Climate
Determines
Performance

Good leaders at all levels reserve the right to be
wrong and change their minds in the light of new
evidence. That's strength not a weakness.

Do employees influence end-to-end
business processes?
What influence does staff have to
improve the measurement system?
What influence do employees have on
improving products and services?
