Respect People
Category: Lean Principles
Principle Intent
Design systems that respect the expertise, judgment, and dignity of the people who do the work. People are not resources—they are the intelligence of the system.
How to Apply This Principle
This principle is part of the Entrowise Principles Library and is used in the PPA Method to diagnose recurring delivery problems and develop principle-aligned actions. When this principle is violated, delivery teams often experience recurring symptoms that resist solution because the root cause—the violated principle—is never addressed directly.
