HCO POLICY LETTER OF 12 SEPTEMBER 1967

Org Exec Course
POST, HANDLING OF
Handling your post contains an element which is easily overlooked but
without
which you may have many troubles hard to trace.
IN ESSENCE YOU ARE WEARING MY ADMINISTRATIVE HAT FOR THAT
POST.
You may wear the hat letter perfect and yet have a miss. As it is my hat
really, no
matter how small the post is, it has to be worn as I would wear it. The air
and attitude
of how it's worn is important.
Many an HCO Sec in the old days successfully got out of a tough problem
by
asking, "What would Ron do in this situation?" And did it and all worked
out.
Therefore it is worthwhile to know how I would go about things.
I could detail for hours the admin indicators and admin technology I
use. But
you've got the bulk of it already in org policy letters.
There are only a few things I might add that would help.

number of
dynamics."
I believe that to command is to serve and only gives one the right to
serve.
I have to be, above all things, effective and cannot fall short of being
effective or
explain ineffectiveness away.
I never compromise with a situation to be agreeable.
In handling something I figure out if I want to play that game or not
and if I
don't I won't. And if I don't I will do anything needful to disconnect from
it and if I
do I will do anything I can to win it.
There is at least one, however, that is wildly out in many executives.
And that is
how I handle other posts.
My entire concentration is to put the person on a given post that
possibly can
handle it and then let him or her get on with it.
The difference is this: others put a person on a post and then hammer
and pound
him with orders as to how to handle it. If the appointee gets in trouble,
others give him
streams of orders and directions.
I don't. If a person has been trusted with a post I also trust him to
handle it.
If he or she obviously can't, I find another person who possibly can.
I give a person on a post a lot of chances. I know posts are hard to
handle. But if
the statistic goes down and down and stays down, and no admin or tech
advice has
