Pillar 4: Freedom within Structure
1. All companies want to “EMPOWER” their people.
2. But How do you do this?- Pep Talks?- Incentives?
3. Often overlooked -> individual freedom.
4. Noble Enterprises find ways to provide that freedom (within an overall structure) -> to encourage people to use their talents, to innovate and to take prudent risks.
