A vital factor in the success of any business is the right selection of its administrative staff. In this matter management has the inescapable function not only of making the right selection, but also having made it, of providing the fullest scope for legitimate ambition and individual advancement. A management which is so petty as to be jealous of the powers and authority of the officers will naturally choose staff of the sub-missive type, docile men who area accustomed to obey without ques.. It would not take the risk of engaging able and independent-minded employees for the fear that it may 1 day be supplanted by them. A really go-ahead management which understands the mood of the current times will do the direct opposite. It will seek out men capable of evolving policies within their own sphere and will train them to rise to the highest position. In connection with most administrative bodies, management is self-perpetuating and is responsible for its own succession. Even the ablest management cannot foresee the future with certainty its decisions for the future, are at best intelligent guesses what, however, it can and must do is to make available the enterprise to the men who will be capable of taking the decision so the future and who are qualified trained and tested during the current to do so. No management can rely upon a constant supply of geniuses. It must so train its staff that, during normal times, the enterprise is capable of being run effectively by men of not much more than avg. ability and with a robust sense of purpose.
