never criticize a superior in the presence of a subor dinate 7 no dispute is too trivial to be carefully adjusted 8 all dis ciplinary action must be taken care of by a man's immediate superior 9 no assistant should ever be ask ed to criticize a superior 10 any man whose work is subject to in spection should be given a chance to check his work over first human touch is needed all these commandments were il lustrated by one or two anecdotes taken from the speaker's own ex perience a personal and human touch is needed in all dealings with employees claimed colonel rorty no matter how
