WHAT IS

PRINCIPLE BASED MANAGEMENT

Principle Based Management™ is a framework based on the principles of human progress that enables individuals and organizations to succeed long term by creating superior value for others.

 

PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN PROGRESS

Throughout history, principles of human progress have enabled individuals, organizations and societies to progress. When practiced and correctly applied, they promote peace, civility, opportunity and fulfillment, and they provide the standard by which we evaluate everything.

 

FIVE DIMENSIONS

The five dimensions provide an organizing structure for applying the principles of human progress to enable every employee to succeed long term by creating superior value for others.

 
  • VISION
  • VIRTUE AND TALENTS
  • KNOWLEDGE
  • COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE
  • MOTIVATION
 
 

Five Dimensions

OUR VALUES

Of all the proven principles of human progress, these eight represent Our Values and thus are the most important for us to exemplify daily. They are an essential aspect of our Virtue and Talents dimension. They define our culture – who we are as an organization – and are necessary for the long-term success of Koch and each of us.

 
 
TO MAKE THE GROWTH CHOICE INSTEAD OF THE FEAR CHOICE A DOZEN TIMES A DAY IS TO MOVE A DOZEN TIMES A DAY TOWARDS SELF-ACTUALIZATION.
