Instilment of Values Natural Leadership Self-Motivation Equality & Fairness Bill Gore & Gore-Tex ®
Replaced his employees with “associates”, their jobs with
“commitments”, and their managers with “leaders”. Robert McDermott & USAA® “Treating people as the unique, equally valuable human beings they are, whether they are subordinates, colleagues, customers or suppliers, is good for business.”
“…create a corporate environment that satisfies people’s universal
need to be treated as intrinsically equal, with fairness and respect, so they can do a great job.” – Carney & Getz Instilment of Values Tony Hsieh & Zappos ®
“Quit now, and not only will we not hold it against you, but we’ll pay you to leave” (on how Zappos® is not for everyone) Jeff Westphal & Vertex ®
“Welcome to Vertex. You are Free to Leave”.
(on making sure new hires agree with Vertex’s vision) Bob Davids & Sea Smoke Cellars “…It’s your charge to grow the very best grapes humanly possible from that site. I’m not a viticulturist. I don’t know how to do that. Your charge is to grow the very best grapes humanly possible.” (response to Victor Gallegos on whether to drop bad grapes) Natural Leadership Lew Lewis, Manufacturing leader at Gore-Tex® Learned that “A leader is not just a manager with a different title. A leader is someone who others follow naturally”
Bill Gore’s approach for growing “natural leaders”:
“Take a chance and give somebody an opportunity. If you took that opportunity out of a person’s hands, he wouldn’t be self- motivated to take part in building a freedom-based environment – or for leading the business.” –Burt Chase
“What kind of leaders should we have to get people to self-motivate to
run and coordinate these business activities by themselves?” -Bill Gore’s creative redefinition of management Self-Motivation
“How do you motivate people?”
“How do you build an environment where people self-motivate?” Self-Motivation
“You don’t motivate people. Man is by nature motivated…His
behavior is influenced by relationships between his characteristics as an organic system and the environment…Creating these relationships is a matter of releasing energy in certain ways rather than others. We do not motivate him because he is motivated. When he is not, he is dead. -Douglas McGregor Strengths & Weaknesses Weaknesses Strengths
