For the Items indicated below write a small paragraph indicating your thoughts on the statement.
- Some think paying a person more money will produce cooperation. Not true. Many Incentives are far more effective than money, Status is a much greater Incentive.
- The public will not yet believe that our standard of living could be doubled immediately if labor and management would cooperate.
- If those crying loudest about the inefficiencies of labor were put in the position of wage earner, they would react as he does. The worker has the same needs, aspirations, and reaction as the industrialist, A worker will not cooperate on any program that will penalize him. Does any manager?
- The industrial manage is very conscious of his company's needs of uninterrupted income. He is completely oblivious, though, to the worker's same need. Management fails - i.e., profit fall off - gets no punishment. The wage earner does not fail but is fired. Such injustice!
- Higher efficiency means fewer man-hours to do a job. If the worker loses his job more quickly, he will oppose higher efficiency.
- There never will be enthusiasm for efficiency if the resulting profits are not properly distributed. If we continue to give it to the average stockholder, the worker will not cooperate.
- A wage earner is no more interested than a manager in making money for other people. The worker's job doesn't depend on pleasing stockholders, so he has no interest in dividends, neither is he interested in increasing efficiency if he may lose his job because management has failed to get more orders.
- If a manager received the same treatment in matters of income security, advancement, and dignity as the hourly worker, he would soon understand the real problem of management.
- The calling of the minister, the doctor, the lawyer, as well as the manager, contains incentive to excel. Excellence brings rewards, self-esteem, respect. Only the hourly worker has no reason to excel.
- Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This is not just a Sunday school ideal, but a proper labor - management policy.
