Giving a Man Scope

Quoting Mr. Waldo P. Warren: "Much of the strength within men ishidden, awaiting an occasion to reveal it. The head of a department ina great manufacturing concern severed his connection with the firm,his work falling upon a young man of twenty five years. The young manrose to the occasion, and in a very short time was conceded to be thestronger executive of the two. He had been with the concern forseveral years, and was regarded as a bright fellow, but his markedsuccess was a surprise to all who knew him even to himself.

"The fact is, the young man had that ability all the time and didn'tknow it; and his employers didn't know it. He might have been doinggreater things all along if there had been the occasion to reveal his strength.

"Do you employers and superior officers in business realize how muchof this hidden strength there is in your men? Perhaps a word from you,giving certain men more scope, would liberate that ability for thedevelopment of both your business and your men.
