Organizations and Conferences
-
Insist on doing everything through “channels.” Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.
-
Make “speeches.” Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your “points” by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences.
-
When possible, refer all matters to committees, for “further study and consideration.” Attempt to make the committee as large as possible — never less than five.
-
Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.
-
Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.
-
Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.
-
Advocate “caution.” Be “reasonable” and urge your fellow-conferees to be “reasonable” and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on.
Managers
-
In making work assignments, always sign out the unimportant jobs first. See that important jobs are assigned to inefficient workers.
-
Insist on perfect work in relatively unimportant products; send back for refinishing those which have the least flaw.
-
To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions.
-
Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.
-
Multiply the procedures and clearances involved in issuing instructions, pay checks, and so on. See that three people have to approve everything where one would do.
Employees
-
Work slowly
-
Work slowly.
-
Contrive as many interruptions to your work as you can.
-
Do your work poorly and blame it on bad tools, machinery, or equipment. Complain that these things are preventing you from doing your job right.
-
Never pass on your skill and experience to a new or less skillful worker.
