training

  • when I speak of training a subordinate I mean
    • helping her to trust her superior
    • instilling in her the habit of prompt unquestioning obedience
    • teaching her what she must do to please her superior
    • explaining her duties and how to perform them
    • explaining the rules and guidelines, and the consequences of breaking them
    • teaching her how she must behave in different situations, public and private
  • It is essential for a superior to be especially diligent in training a new subordinate. It is easier to instill good habits at the beginning of a relationship than later on. Existing habits must be broken quickly and thoroughly, and replaced with good habits.
  • Since a superior's requirements for her behavior will change a little over time her training will never end, though if she tries hard to be good it will never be as hard as at the beginning.
