One of the most articulate about the whole notion of empowerment is John Harvey-Jones. He talked about how his views on leadership developed: a33, I suppose my belief in managing through motivating people is what we're talking about rather than through organizational controls. It derived from my naval service experience, particularly my submarining, which taught me that ordinary people have alot more to offer than they are usually either allowed or encouraged to offer. This belief was honed by my experience as an industrial engineer I spent my first two years in the company with a stopwatch in my hand, which teaches you hell of a lot about how little you get out of people and how much they can do , . T I've always been interested in social science concepts and I suppose the next formative experience really was when I was given quite a different task from anything I had been given before. Our largest manufacturing site had a series ofmajor industrial relations problems. I tried every sort of solution, every sort of approach.My diagnosis of the problem, which I think was right.was that we're not a team. We're not working toward a conunon goal and we've gotten the shop to the point where itsis working againstus. The workers are really taking advantage ofthe lack of cohesiveness of management to seize the initia- tlve. I was the deputy chairman responsible for the site. The site was a cooperative and I had no direct line control over thesemanagers although I was senior official re- sponsible for these managers. I suppose that it was that experience that taught me about everything. Industrial success is a matter of getting a commitment ofpeople and the art is to get them involved and then you can sort of ratchet people up by continuously setting them or getting them to set themselves aims which are a little more achievable to them. Then every time they achieve, you Gitmo advances twenty new Chiefs can ratchet them a bit further and after a little while you canget team which reallybelievesit'saleading teant.that of ChiefPettyOfficerin the 101st yearofthe Navy Chief in a pinningceremony Twenty Gitmo personnelwere advancedto the rank corresponds very much to my service experience where last Friday outside the MWR club, 1-larborLights.
