You Decide Decision making can be found at the core of every successful job operation — whether it be on a management level or on the production line. There are some who say that the only people in the company who make the important decisions are the top executives. Those who feel this way are pretty easy to recognize. For “What’s the use?” is the philosophy of the chap who throws up the sponge when the battle has just started. He sits down alongside the road when he finds that the signpost deceived him. Instead of lengthening his stride he is satisfied with “good enough.” He has no goals, no visions. He accepts no challenges. “What’s the use?” and “Why should I?” are the two most fatal phrases in the English language. They mark the dividing line between success and failure for thousands of human beings. Undoubtedly, management does have the responsibility for making many important decisions. But there are a good many decisions vital to successful operations which management does not make. For example, the decision to avoid the costly waste of materials or time is one that must be made by the employee. Keeping quality high by putting one’s best skills and care into the product represents a decision by the employee. Then there is the decision to try to find ways to improve operations, to submit suggestions. For another, the decision to work safely. All important decisions — and only you, not the top executives, can make them. WHI iioysd Issued Every Other Monday For and Friends of Fieldcrest Mills, • Copyright, 1964, Fieldcrest Mills# Spray, N.
