Jim Collins on Discipline – part 2 of 3
Rules generally mean one thing: people can’t be trusted to do the right thing. Their presence also indicates ineffective leadership. It’s easier to make rules for everyone than it is to deal with to root cause of a problem.
When you have rules, you have to enforce them and keep track of them and update them. Before long, you have people whose job it is to enforce, keep track and update the rules.
Then it’s the rules that become the main thing. Then we have the Federal Government.
Hire the right people. Make sure they know the mission and their contribution. Fire the wrong people quickly.
