It will generally be found that those who do their work least well have the greatest number of complaints and cause the most trouble.

When a person is left in momentary charge by some accident of succession, he has no right to use his brief authority to upset the organization. The disease known as anoxemia has no part in our activities and I can be counted upon to stamp it out whenever discovered. I can always be counted upon to back up board members and especially excellent Scientologists.

Causing difficulty or upset is therefore, and for other reasons, a hostile act against the organization, myself and the staff and Scientology in general, and is a gesture toward suicide.

There is another maxim concerning this — a post is better left empty than to be filled by an incompetent.

A post in this organization is a trust. Its duty is to keep the peace, do the job and get the show on the road. If anyone cannot conceive of his post as a trust with this mission, he has no business here.
