Is it not time that we reassess
ed the value of the mhn who
sticks to his job and, handle it
wil h steady efficiency^ The
tendency has been to regard the
go-getter as, the only valuable
t3rpe. It has been the ihan who
went out and got the’ big order
or who installed.the new labbr-
saving system Who has worn the
business bay leaves and drawt^
the. obese check. ~
Ceriiainly the man who can
put it over is eatitled to a sub
stantial share of the good things.
But it should be - possible, also,
without discounting the value of
initiative and ambition, to give
due appreciation to steadiness
and,a permanent application to
ohelthing; After all, the man
who finds his proper niche and
stays in it is a greht asset in in
dustry. Business runs smoothly
and sweet! Y when the cogs grind
in unison. There ^ could be no
real efficiency in an .organization
where every man was. looking
for ajjob above. Such general
clawing and stiuggiiiig for the
next rung would inevitably up
set the ladder.
It is generally assumed that
the oustanding man is hard to
replace, but that the routine
