Enlightened Economics and Management

1. Assume everyone is to be trusted. It assumes that the people selected for the particular plant are a fairly evolved type of person, relatively mature, relatively healthy, and relatively decent.
2. Assume everyone is to be informed as completely as possible of as many facts and truths as possible.
3. Assume in all your people the impulse to achieve; assume that they are for good
workmanship, are against wasting time and inefficiency and want to do a good job,
etc.
4. Assume that there is no dominance-subordination hierarchy in the jungle sense or
authoritarian sense. There must be an ability to identify with a fairly wide circle of human beings, ideally with the whole human species. The ultimate authoritarian can identify with nobody or perhaps at best with his own blood family. Authoritarians must be excluded or they must be
converted.
5. Assume that everyone will have the same ultimate managerial objectives and will
identify with them no matter where they are in the organization or in the hierarchy.
What is best for the solution of the problem or the effectuation of the goal rather than what is
best for my ego, or my own person?"
6. Enlightened economics must assume good will among all the members of the
organization rather than rivalry or jealousy.
