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.
