POWER
1. The first law of a Condition of Power is don't disconnect. You can't
just deny
your connections, what you have got to do is take ownership and
responsibility
for your connections.
2. The first thing you have got to do is make a record of all of its
lines. And that is
the only way you will ever be able to disconnect. So on a Condition
of Power the
first thing you have to do is write up your whole post. You have made
it possible
for the next fellow in to assume the state of Power Change.
If you don't write up your whole post you are going to be stuck with
a piece of
that post since time immemorial and a year or so later somebody will
still be
coming to you asking you about that post which you occupied.
3. The responsibility is write the thing up and get it into the hands of
the guy who is
going to take care of it.
4. Do all you can to make the post occupiable.
POWER CHANGE
There are only two circumstances which require replacement, the very
successful
one or the very unsuccessful one.
What a song it is to inherit a successful pair of boots, there is
nothing to it, just
step in the boots and don't bother to walk. If it was in a normal state
of
operation, which it normally would have been in for anybody to have been
promoted out of it, you just don't change anything.
So anybody wants anything signed that your predecessor didn't sign,
don't sign it.
Keep your eyes open, learn the ropes and, depending on how big the
organization
is, after a certain time, why see how it is running and run it as normal
operating
condition if it's not in anything but a normal operating condition.
Go through the exact same routine of every day that your predecessor
went
through, sign nothing that he wouldn't sign, don't change a single
order, look
through the papers that had been issued at that period of time-these are
the
orders that are extant and get as busy as the devil just enforcing those
orders and
your operation will increase and increase.
Now the fellow who walks into the boots of somebody who has left in
disgrace
had better apply the state of emergency formula to it, which is
immediately
promote.
