E-Mything Education: The core philosophy behind the E-Myth Point of View on Management is the idea that businesses should be systems-dependent, NOT people-dependent. The secret of successful business management--successful people management--is systemization. Systems free your people to pay attention to the things that matter while all the routine things take care of themselves. Systems raise the level of performance of your people. The E-Myth management strategy is the same for companies with 2 employees, with 25 employees, or with 150 employees ! THE HOW DO WE DO IT HERE m ust be developed, documented in operations manuals, taught,trained,practiced, lived, revised, AND most importantly:. Principals must be lead-directors in creating "an environment for these systems in which doing it is more important to your people than NOT doing it. A place where doing it well becomes a way of life for them. "- Michael Gerber -Michael Gerber, The E-Myth Revisited, Chapter 16
