Quote by E.E. Jones

When the administrator feels himself to be the sole driving agency, and finds himself chiefly engaged in arousing those who apathetic and coercing those who are antagonistic, there is something vitally wrong with the administration. An executive should find himself engaged chiefly in directing the energies which create themselves naturally in all parts of the business, and in finding the proper outlet for the eager upward striving of the ranks below.


When the administrator feels himself to be the sole driving

Summary

This quote emphasizes the role of an administrator in a healthy and efficient organization. It suggests that when an administrator becomes solely responsible for driving progress, motivating disengaged individuals, and coercing those who resist, it is a clear indication of a flawed administration. Instead, an effective executive should primarily focus on guiding the naturally emerging energies within different parts of the organization and facilitating the upward advancement and ambition of those lower in rank. In doing so, they can create a more dynamic and self-sustaining work environment.
