So, without further ado, here is my suggestions for a list of fundamental principles of Human Effectiveness:

  • The inside cannot affect the outside unless the inside is let out.
  • The outside cannot affect the inside unless the outside is let in.
  • Once something is let out, it cannot be put back in.
  • Everything has at least two significant sides.
  • People have the capacity and desire for . . .
  • People are consistent with themselves.
  • People are responsible for themselves.
  • People are different from each other.
  • People have certain resources . . .
  • Everything has a natural sequence.
  • Everything costs resources.
  • People are interconnected.
  • Everything can improve.
  • Everything has limits.
  • People are reactive

The list of 15 has grown and shrunk over time as I thought about the topic repeatedly.

Please also note that there are two items on the list that themselves also require lists. I will share those lists, when I get to the specific items.
