3.6 Securing incomes: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| Societies at all levels of development face the challenge of organizing
systems to provide security against contingencies such as sickness, accident,
death of the main breadwinner, disability, old age, maternity and unemployment

to human security, dignity, equity and social justice. They are also a foundation
for political inclusion, empowerment and the development of
democracy. Half of the world’s population is excluded from any type of

Part 3 - Relationships and service
| |
| It is absolutely essential for any manager to communicate with and to understand what motivates each individual staff member. This brings relationships to the fore as the most important factor for any manager in any business. We are not just caged canaries or a selection of laboratory rats.

Designing for Power: Rapid Development, Scale and Usability
