REASON
Danger Conditions are handled on By-Pass. Where a Danger Condition is
assigned, the senior can by-pass anyone to get the job done and does.
The Conditions in sequence are:
6. Power
5. Power Change
4. Affluence
3. Normal Operation
2. Emergency
1. Danger
0. Non-Existence.
By-pass creates a Danger Condition which drops into Non-Existence from
any level.
It is true of all Conditions that if you use one lower than you are in
you will bring the next lower one about. If you use the Normal Operating
Formula when you are in Affluence you will certainly descend into
Emergency.
Therefore if you are in Normal or Emergency Condition and start by-
passing you will quickly descend into Danger Condition (statistics will
drop steeply) and achieve the only Condition below Danger which is Non-
Existence.
Thus if you by-pass you infer the Condition is Danger when it isn't. And
you drop the org or any portion of it into Non-Existence.
So don't by-pass unless you are in Danger Condition. A Danger Condition
exists where statistics show continuing emergency or a steep steep fall. If
a Danger Condition exists, you handle the situation, by-pass anyone at all
and then the personnel who ignored it. So if you by-pass all the time (Exec
Sees issuing orders to Directors, Secretaries ordering Officers, Directors
ordering general staff members) you will infer a Danger Condition and get
non-existence of the Section, Department, Division or the whole activity.
Moral: Only when a Danger Condition exists should a senior by-pass the
command chain, so if you are only in Emergency or only in Normal Operation
or even Affluence DON'T BY-PASS or you will crush statistics.
SUMMARY
Learn your Org Board.
Make your staff learn it.
Handle the org by statistics only.
Order only your immediate juniors.
Don't by-pass (except in Danger Condition).
Don't infer a Danger Condition that doesn't show on a grapn.
Hold the org firm by holding its lines and chain of command firm.
And you will prosper and expand.
