7 Etika Kepemimpinan
He says that effective people live their lives and manage their
relationships not around priorities but according to a series of
natural laws, such as fairness, justice and integrity.
These values have underpinned life, both personal and business, for
thousands of years, and continue to be crucial.
Indeed, there is plenty of research that suggests that for most of us, it’s not so
much how much we’re getting in absolute terms, as that we’re getting ‘our fair
share’.
Covey believes that we instinctively trust those whose lives are based on these
principles of natural justice, fairness and equity. That may be because values,
beliefs and principles are relatively hard to change, so we instinctively understand
that those who demonstrate these natural law-based principles will be trustworthy.
You can change the way you behave relatively easily, but not the values that
underlie that behaviour, and which are underpinned by these principles.
It is probably not too strong a statement to assert that trust is at the heart of every
strong, successful relationship, whether personal or business, and that trust, or lack
of it, also underpins most human interactions.
The managerial level is about how you work with those you manage, and
particularly about empowerment. When you trust people, you don’t control them or
supervise them. They control and supervise themselves: they are empowered.
It may be easier to think first about an organisation where employees are not
trusted: there is close control by management, constant supervision and checking-
in, and employees have to report back frequently on what they’re doing. As a result,
managers cannot manage many people directly, so the span of control is very small
By contrast then, an organisation where employees are trusted is usually flat rather
than hierarchical, and with wide spans of control. Individuals within the
organisation are trusted to do their jobs well, and without constant supervision:
they are aligned.
Inside-out or Outside-in?
If you are unhappy with any relationship or situation, you can try to
change it by altering the externals, including other people (outside-in), or
you can change the way that you see it, and the way that you behave
within it (inside-out).
