It is essential that you do not "dumb down" your employees, especially front line supervisors and labourers. They don't have to be equal partners, but they must be well informed and committed partners to the goals of the organisation; goals that are often poorly defined by upper management.

Open-Book Management attempts to extend this feeling of responsibility to everybody in the organisation. The philosophy that a firm will succeed if all of the employees share finance and operations information.

 

  1. Employees must be appropriately trained

  2. Employees must be empowered to use this information to cut costs

  3. Employers must trust employees to act as equal business partners

  4. Employees must be fairly rewarded for business success.
