The first thing an Est O runs into in an area that is not hatted is Dev-T (developed unnecessary traffic).	DEV-T AND UNHATTEDNESS
People in an org can be working frantically, totally exhausted and yet produce nothing of value. The reason is that their actions are almost totally Dev-T.	The first thing an Esto runs into in an area that is not hatted is DEV-T (developed unnecessary traffic).
The WHY of this is UNHATTEDNESS.	People in an org can be working frantically, totally exhausted and yet produce nothing of value. The reason is that their actions are almost totally dev-t.
The people on the posts do not know their own hats or even if some do they are dealing in the “NOISE" of other people who don’t know their own hats.	The WHY of this is UNHATTEDNESS.
Few if any of these people know the other hats or duties of the org and so don’t know Where to go for service or Who to approach or despatch for What.	The people on the posts do not know their own hats or even if some do they are dealing in the “NOISE” of other people who don’t know their own hats.

In order to get anything done at all or even begin this an Est O Ethics Officer function has to be in.	3. Chinese school (staff or div staff all together in front of a big org board chanting together the hats, duties and products of the org as visible on the org board).
A schedule has to be posted including exercise, post time and study and staff has to be mustered and handled at these periods. This gets some awareness of the org group as a team of people with similar purposes.	In order to get anything done at all or even begin this an Esto Ethics Officer function has to be in.
