HCO POLICY LETTER OF 5 JANUARY 1968
Remimeo
DEV-T SERIES, PART OF
OVERFILLED IN BASKET
BAD NEWS
If an executive is trying to do his or her job and looking ahead and
handling things and yet is being hit constantly with bad news and problems
and has his In basket loaded continually
a) HE IS GETTING NON COMPLIANCE AND FALSE REPORTS
and
b) HIS JUNIORS ARE NOT GETTING HIS ORDERS EXECUTED
and
(c) HIS JUNIORS ARE NOT PUTTING IN ETHICS BUT LEAVING IT ALL TO HIM.
What he sees is bad news and hard to handle items and an overfilled In
basket.
He does not see (a) (b) and (c) above as they are out of view and often
blurred by efforts by juniors to LOOK and SOUND active in his sight while
actually really loafing and goofing or outright betraying him.
This is the most senior datum in all Dev-T policy-that
IF YOU ARE BEING HIT BACK BY LINES YOU ARE TRYING TO HANDLE then YOU
HAVE UNSEEN NON COMPLIANCE AND FALSE REPORTS ON YOUR LINES.
Therefore, to remedy this situation, when an Executive is being knocked
about by his lines, bad news, disasters, etc. and he feels PTS he must
apply this formula mercilessly
(A) MAKE THE PENALTIES FOR NON COMPLIANCE AND FALSE REPORTS TOO
GRUESOME TO BE FACED AND ENFORCE THEM
B) LOCATE AND DISCIPLINE THE JUNIORS WHO DO NOT EXECUTE OR DO NOT
GET ONE'S ORDERS EXECUTED
and
(C) SACK EVERY JUNIOR WHO WILL NOT PUT IN ETHICS IN THEIR OWN AREA
ON THEIR OWN.
The only reason an otherwise competent and industrious executive gets
hit by bad news and has an overloaded in basket lies in (a) (b) and (c)
above and the only effective remedy is (A) (B) and (C).
It takes far more ethics and far steeper enforced penalties to make an
organization work than Scientologists have been using.
If you don't learn and use the above you will not be a big success and
your life will be miserable and your post untenable.
We work in a jungle of non compliance and false reports called the wog
world. Our ethics must be proportional to our ability to do good or we will
all vanish.
You must give attention to this Pol Ltr or you'll never cure the Dev-T
on your lines. It all comes from Non Compliance, False Reports and your
juniors patty-caking around and not getting in Ethics on their own, no
matter HOW it may look from your post.
Of course your lawyers and accountants "know best" and have OUT ETHICS
and therefore give you the most trouble as they are outside your control
perimeter as "experts" and so you have more legal and accounts problems
than others. This Pol Ltr still applies to them too.
You CAN function as an Executive if you do your job and do (A) (B) and
(C) above. Otherwise, lord help you, your juniors will get you shot by (a)
(b) and (c). A good fellow is a dead good fellow when he's dead. So being a
good fellow is NOT the solution to getting a job done. The solution for an
Executive is (A) (B) & (C).
