| How to double the day's work |
Your system is your creature. You fashion it yourself. You may make it do the very things you want it>to do — or you may let it grow rank and suffocate your business. You alone can make it a good system or a bad system. Your system should be your junior partner. If sickness keeps you at home, you need not worry, provided your system prevails in the business. The system is your second self — the self which works while you play; which catches the reins when you retire. Be studious of the system if you would be sure of yourself.
IT DOES not need a million-dollar responsibility and a $10,000 job to develop a good executive. Clerk or accountant, and even office boy, if he has the care of a desk and its contents, have just as good an opportunity to ground themselves in the principles of system and management as the high-salaried department head, if they are as ready to take advantage of it. System means simply the ability to get the thing done; to get it done thoroughly, and to get it done on time.
