What an executive should do, on being presented with an accusation or down
stats
or "evidence" is conduct an investigation of false reports and false
perceptions.
An area is downstat because of one or more of the following:
1. No personnel;
2. Personnel not trained;
3. Cross orders (senior orders unattended because of different junior
orders);
4. Area doing something else than what it is supposed to do;
5. An adjacent area dumping its hat;
6. False perception leading to false stats;
7. False reports by rumour or misunderstanding;
8. False reports from single rare instances becoming accepted as the
condition of the whole;
9. False reports on others defensively intended;
10. False reports on others maliciously intended (real 3rd Party);
11. Injustices cumulative and unremedied;
12. Actions taken on others without investigation and without
confronting them with their accusers or the data.
This is a list of probable causes for an upset or downstat area.
SECURITY
The personal security of the staff member is so valuable to him
apparently that when it is undermined (by false accusations or injustice)
he becomes less willing and less efficient and is the real reason for a PTS
condition.
JUSTICE
The only thing which can actually remedy a general insecure feeling is a
renewed faith in justice.
Justice would consist of a refusal to accept any report not
substantiated by actual, independent data, seeing that all such reports are
investigated and that all investigations include confronting the accused
with the accusation and where feasible the accuser, BEFORE any disciplinary
action is undertaken or any condition assigned.
While this may slow the processes of justice, the personal security of
the individual is totally dependent upon establishing the full truth of any
accusation before any action is taken.
_________________________________________
Harsh discipline may produce instant compliance but it smothers
initiative.
Positive discipline is in itself a stable datum. People are unhappy in
an area which is not well disciplined because they do not know where they
stand.
An area where only those who try to do their jobs are disciplined
encourages people to hide and be inactive.
But all discipline must be based on truth and must exclude acting on
false reports.
Therefore we get a policy: Any false report leading to the unjust
discipline of another is an act of TREASON by the person making the false
report and the condition should be assigned and its penalties fully
applied.
A condition of DOUBT should be assigned any person who accepts and
disciplines another unjustly on the basis of a report which subsequently
turns out to have been false.
_________________________________________
This then is the primary breakdown of any justice system-that it acts on
false reports, disciplines before substantiation and fails to confront an
accused with the report and his accuser before any discipline is assigned,
or which does not weigh the value of a person in general against the
alleged crime even when proven.
