Franz Wertvollen. Sudden guide to working with people: Bavaria (№ 405338)

I'll tell you the story. Parable. About Hansel. Here is Hansel, here is the thirteenth century, when the Prussians baptized the order. Hansel loves the order very much, loves Christ very much, loves me - his Landmeister very much. I give him people and send him to build me a fortress at the junction of two rivers. This is a very important place, profitable, you can raise good wealth on one crossing only. Time passes. I can't call Hansel every day. Suppose this crossing is very far away in the pagan lands. There is not only a fortress to rebuild, there is a need to think over the entire infrastructure, taxation, duties - that's all. Also, the Wild Prussians attack, they also need to be pacified. And nothing here in time will not postpone, you will not tell the wild Pruss that the rod cut you - wait, I'm here now with the duties to deal with, then fight. You can't tell the merchants either - hey, you're here for now, I'll deal with the prussians, and your hands will reach you. Five years pass, I finally get to Hansel. What do I see? Four dead pigs, snotty aunts and a stunted palisle. Why? And because Hansel has everything - the Fuhrer, everything - us. We are the Order, we are the Fuehrer, but it is not I, Hansel, who will do it. Because he wanted to learn. And something was not taught him - how to build fortresses, organize taxes, collect people, he also came to the order to study, but he was not taught. Do your comrades expect suggestions from me? When you talk about the organization of sixty million, it is not necessary to think about the Fuehrer and not about the Party, and not about the fact that someday the fairy godmother will teach you. You have to think with your head. And if any of you will say to me: you and I, Franz, so there should be plans or at least the rudiments of plans, and not enthusiasm, albeit firm, but naked. Not "we're with you, and now come on, I'm waiting for your suggestions." That's my proposal - this is the first step. Because if I build something, it's not on the Hansels. I see?
