marriage ceremony.

sion there had been no marriage.

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
What Makes Good Executive.

Apart from movie stars, executives
are the best paid hired men.
Corporation and bank presidents Of
first rank command salaries of up
ward Of $4,000 a year. Some of
them, particularly those who have a
share in profits, earn considerably
more.
Purely executive work Is a relative
ly new function in business, growing
out Of recent tendencies toward pc
cialization. Before the Industrial revo-
luton, the boss was supervisor. pro-
ducer and fellow worker, comb ming
all the functions of business in q sin
gle Office.
What Is an executive and what does
he do?
Henry L. Doherty. who heads more
than 100 public utility and oil com
panies, once said that an executive
should never do what he can get some
one else to do, but should always keep
busy.
Must Obtain Cooperation.
The essential task of u chief exeou-
tive is to get the entire personnel of
an organization to cooperate for the
attainment of common Dblectives. lie
should decide what the goals are, and
keep them continuously before his as
sociates. AS long as his department
heads conform to the major policies
he should give them great freedom N
working out the details, but ha should
reprimand them when they go off on
tangents.
When an executive has built up a
smoothly functioning machine, he
seemingly has little to do. He ACTS
~ a.
dency of each specialist to overem-
phasize the importance of his particu-
lar work.
The able leader however, Is more
than a passive supervisor of the work
Of his subordinates. He Is not neutral,
but Is enthusiastically behind his
aides. He actively encourages them
to proceed wisely and creatively. He
stimulates experiment, and is sympa-
thetic when honest errors are unin-
tentionally made.
He initiates ideas and policies, but
he does not attempt to run the bust
ness singlehanded. He does not seek
to convert department heads into
automatoms. but welcomes initiative
and enterprise on their part.
He Is available for consultation by
his subordinates when important mat
ters arise. When a decision is needed,
he never fails to assume the RESPONSE
bility of giving a clear-crt answer
The swiftness with which decisions
can be given frequently determines
the success of corporation. Scatter
ed ownership frequently causes costly
| delays.
The president frequently must con-
suit the directors, who in turn some
times look to the bankers for guid.
