“One must permit his people the freedom to seek added work and greater responsibility. In my organization, there are no formal job descriptions or organization charts.”

Hyman George Rickover (1900–1986) United States admiral

The Rickover Effect (1992)
Context: One must permit his people the freedom to seek added work and greater responsibility. In my organization, there are no formal job descriptions or organization charts. Responsibilities are defined in a general way, so that people are not circumscribed. All are permitted to do as they think best and to go to anyone and anywhere for help. Each person is then limited only by his own ability.
