Systems are laid, made, changed, adopted and broken by people. So what people do with the system matters. People who value people as valuable means of resource generally intend to adopt and value the system mutually for their benefits.

I think "good people" are the most important basis for an organization. But don't forget " a bad system can destroy good people". Few "good people" in a corporation can not change the system.  So it depends but the perfect situation is a good system coupled with good people.

Yes. Some magic hands work on it. Their vision, dedication and the system they initially implement--all are behind the great success...many examples known to all.  They also would like to share the benefits of their success with no limits or boundaries.

Good systems/processes created by good people.. In my view, good people are more important than just having good system/processes..

Having great staff, good products and a strong vision for the future are important building blocks for the success of any organization. However, of equal importance is the glue that holds these building blocks together, creating the foundation for success. That glue is business systems and people who work.

Every business has systems in place to some degree. Those systems may be passed on from employer to employee via word of mouth or they may exist in the form of a manual or standard operating procedures.

An individual’s behaviour, plus the sum total of everyone’s behaviour must be a reflection of what you want to see in your organization. Behaviours you might want to find, amongst others, in a high performance culture are: high energy levels, action-focused colleagues, an open feedback culture, powerful commitment, mutual empowerment and choices directed towards the maximum result for the organization as a whole.

Absolutely, good people do good systems.

Good people. Systems are never perfect an should have the flexibility to organically respond and adapt to changing demands and scenarios.

Even the best laid systems are only as good as the operatives that use them and prone to failure if employees are unmotivated and undertrained.
