Recently, a man of 45 who now heads one of the nation's
largest chains of food stores, explained his formula for
success.
"Draw up the usual chart of your business organization
from the president on down. Then turn the chart upside
down and everyone in the organization knows whom he is
Working for."
In other words, the president's primary job is to help the
vice-president to be successful and so on down the line.
The man who voiced this rather unique system for guar-
anteed success of all employees within a large company is
Franklin J. Lunding, chairman of both the executive com-
mittee of Jewel Tea Company and Lever Brothers.
Hearing Lunding and other Jewel people talk about this
philosophy makes it apparent that this is a genuine force in
the company's operations rather than a far-fetched theory
that never works or has a chance to work.
Lunding explains, "We feel that this type of approach
recognizes that there is a secret ballot going on at all times
among the people in any business. They vote for or against
their supervisor. A favorable vote shows up in the coopera-
tion, teamwork, understanding, and production of the
group."
Why not put this wonderful philosophy to work on your
job?
