In that way the org is built or expands stably. In that way the org is prosperous, the staff is happy.
If some other sequence is being tried or other things are happening then the org is likely to be slow, upset or nonviable.
When an org has both an Exec Esto and an Esto I/C or Chief Estos or Leading Estos the Exec Esto shall hat (a) all the Estos and the I/C or Chief or Leading Estos especially until they can safely be trusted to become a 1A relay point in the above where 1 would be “The Exec Esto hats all Estos I/C, Chief and Leading Estos until they in turn can hat and handle their Estos as per 2.”
Power is proportional to the speed of particle flow. This applies to despatches, bodies, materiel and anything else that can be called a particle.
What then slows things down?
UNCERTAINTY.
Many things can cause uncertainty. Threats, transfers, rumors.
People want their posts. Leave one without one awhile and see what happens! Firm establishment, unchanging orders, give certainty.
Nothing however causes more uncertainty than what one’s product is.
Or if he can get someone to get out a product.
As certainty becomes firm on the product of a post or org, the ability to get it out, then all else falls into place and establishment has occurred.
It is easy for an Exec Esto or Esto I/C or any Esto to imagine he could make it all right by just bypassing and doing the product job. If he does that he fails as an Esto and the staff becomes uncertain as they feel they can’t get out the product
If you want to speed up an org just do the usual 1, 2, 3 as given above.
The org will become certain.
It will speed up.
Estos who do lots of admin are not being Estos. They belong on their feet or at best sitting with a staff member hatting him.
When an Esto has given up he begins to do admin.
Of course one has to do org boards and CSWs for posting, lines and materials. And one does have despatches. But if these require more than a couple hours a day something is very wrong.
The Esto is the only one who MUST bring a body.
In a very large org there are at least two Esto Masters-at-Arms.
Both have crew mustering, exercises, etc. Their functions can interchange.
But the senior is the Exec Esto’s MAA for investigation and finding Whys.
The Assistant MAA is the one who helps handle the Estos and crosschecks on them and helps them and acts as liaison between them and the Ethics Officer or HCO terminals of the org.
Estos do NOT go to the HCO Esto for HCO PRODUCTS. They go to the HCO terminals involved or, far better, put it via the Asst Exec Esto’s MAA — “the Esto’s MAA.” And he does not go to the HCO Esto either but to the proper terminals in HCO.
The Assistant MAA should know at any given moment where to find any Esto in the org. This is so he can get them for the Exec Esto or locate them due to emergencies.
He is their personal troubles terminal.
He verifies their presence at any muster.
He is in fact keeping the lines in between the Exec Esto and the Estos.
It is all done by body traffic, not by any despatch.
In an exact division of duties the Senior Exec Esto MAA is responsible for the whole staff as people. And how they influence org form.
The Assistant Esto MAA is responsible for the Estos as Estos on post and as people. And how they infuence the Esto pattern of operations 1, 2 and 3 above.
Thus the pattern can be held.
If it is, the wins are fantastic.
It is an easy pattern to hold.
It can be done.
ORGS ARE BUILT OF PEOPLE.
ESTOs WORK DIRECTLY WITH PEOPLE.
And the pattern of the work is 1, 2 and 3 above.
