The principles of Managing Differently: Getting 100% from 100% of your people 100% of the time are gaining popularity around the globe. Managing Differently refers to the 21st century imperative that every manager and leader recognize and acknowledge the unique character of each employee and that they deliberately create a workplace where every employee experiences “dignity at work”. The reward for managing each employee as an individual , not as a part of a dimensional group, is that they are willing and committed to give 100% of their strengths and talents to contribute to the organization’s objectives.
