Introduction

Quality leadership is important, indeed crucial. How to do it? Many ways, many styles. Environmental Management is complex, requiring diverse skills, disciplines, and organizations. There's no ONE way, challenges often presenting many options, characterized by dissonance, contradictions, and tensions. There's a legal/regulatory/technical framework defining many constraints. In order to navigate complexity and achieve results, the manager needs knowledge, methods, tools, and skills in knowing when/how to use other people and other resources.

Yanking the Chain

First Principle: Regardless of level, ALL managers have authority, PLUS an obligation to surmount invalid obstacles presented by other levels of management. Communication & documentation are essential to rigorous compliance in the organizaiton, and to employment/legal security for the manager. Always formally request resources, measure and track compliance, report & cure problems promptly, and conduct audits periodically.
