One Manager Gets Results by
Easy Methods.
STUDENT OF HUMAN NATURE
Rules ONCE Force Kindly But Firmly,
and in Consequence Secures
High Standard Of Work
From His Employee.

Once upon q time manager had
some pet ideas and ideals about office
government-and he liked to expert
ment on human nature.
AS a member of the school board he
had made the remark that the teacher
who will discipline first and teach af-
forwards Is failure. That, by the
law Of suggestion. as soon as the need
Of discipline is made evident to those
among whom 1t Is enforced 1t becomes
more and more q necessity.
The same Is true of an ONCE" he
told his assistant, and submitted these
pointers:
The average mortal is sooner led
than driven.
Sarcasms and hot-headed criticisms
will endear you to no one. for 1t Is
human nature to strike back.
The end OF all tyranny is rebellion
Of some kind.
With these strong ethical and prac-
teal convictions he set about to learn
how not to boss" his brand new once
force OF divers femininity.
First of all he posted list of plain
and comprehensive rules In black and
white under the time clock. And II the
following three were typical none
could have savored Of despotism or
crankiness:
Outside of office hours free use Of
the telephone extended to all as long
as this privilege is not abused.
No docking" for hardness in stormy
| W. co
hour or the habit becomes chronic and
general.
The nine girls who composed his
Office force winked delightedly at each
other. They wondered If the sweet
tempered chief could get the sudden
tantrums like the rest of them.
But early in the day he proved to
them that he was an exception.
Something went awry-an impor
tant letter was addressed to the wrong
customer, and the girl who was to
blame was one of your well trained
ones who had done herself proud un-
der his predecessor.
There was neither general tenn
pest nor killjoy wrathiness. nor even
shade of displeasure-only two
minute conclave with the careless one
after quitting time. Later on both
went home with smile.
The trick of holding your temper Is
one method of learning how not to
boss"
The manager always worked hard
and made no noise or jumped about
fussily.
In the course OF time his nelp all did
likewise. They patterned after him
because they couldn't help it-because
they respected him for his composure
and self-control.
Although the whole force worked
conscientiously every day and he criti
cized no one openly nor added more
stringent rules, he did not forget that
no one can work hard for any length
of time without added inducements.
The third week he announced that
the person who had worked most eff
ciently for four weeks In succession
would be raised so cents and that the
energetic newcomer would have as
good a chance as he older help. One
person would be raised every month.
and the selection would depend en-
urely on merit and obvious progress
This arrangement became source
OF much enthusiasm and competition
and was another good method in learn
ing how not to boss"
