[6] The worthy assistant remains alert to<br \/>\nthe first signs of deterioration in the endeavors of which he is a part. Since<br \/>\nhe does not have responsibility for everything, he can stand back and observe<br \/>\nproblems at their very beginning. Thus he is able to heed the early signs, take<br \/>\nprecautions against further deterioration, and keep things going smoothly.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p>2. [6] The subordinate accommodates himself to the needs of<br \/>\nthe creative leader. He supplies what the leader lacks, and thus makes himself<br \/>\nindispensable. He suggests improvements and effective alternatives that enable<br \/>\nthe creative leader to achieve his goals. He has no motives or goals himself<br \/>\noutside of making the work of the creative leader more effective.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p>3. [6] The effective assistant does not seek recognition for<br \/>\nhimself or his abilities, for he knows that to do so would undermine the joint<br \/>\neffort. He may well have many assets that others are unaware of, and which he<br \/>\nkeeps concealed until needed. He avoids attracting attention to himself,<br \/>\nbecause that can arouse resentment as well as all kinds of opposing forces that<br \/>\nwould defeat his usefulness. Even as an assistant, he may well occupy an<br \/>\nimportant position. Nevertheless, his chief attribute is restraint. His aim is<br \/>\nthe success of the endeavors of which he is a part, not receiving credit for<br \/>\nwhat he does. This will often require a considerable amount of working behind<br \/>\nthe scenes.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p>4. [6] In difficult times, one must act with great delicacy<br \/>\nand avoid drawing even the slightest attention to oneself. Since he times are<br \/>\ndifficult, any degree of prominence is almost surely to be misunderstood or<br \/>\nmisinterpreted. By remaining completely in the background, the subordinate<br \/>\nassistant can complete his work without anyone even knowing that he has been<br \/>\nactively involved.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p>5. [6] If the Devoted Assistant is forced into a prominent<br \/>\nposition, even though he is not and cannot be an independent player, he must<br \/>\nact with the highest degree of discretion, sincerity and dignity. These<br \/>\ncharacteristics should reveal themselves, not in mannerisms or haughty<br \/>\nattitudes, but indirectly through the way he does things and brings about<br \/>\nresults.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p>Top. [6] The man in a subordinate position who tries to<br \/>\nassume the position of leadership brings down upon himself every form of<br \/>\nopposition from those stronger than he. He causes great injury to himself, to<br \/>\nthe work he is supposedly a part of, and to all around him. Such an effort to<br \/>\nwhich he is unsuited by nature can only bring defeat and disaster to everyone<br \/>\ninvolved.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p>All lines 6&#8217;s. When the subordinate is combined with the<br \/>\ncreative, the attributes of both are melded together, so that the man remains<br \/>\nsteadfast and enduring while working in the pursuit of what is right. Nothing<br \/>\ngreat comes of this, but then nothing harmful happens either. <o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p>Please Comment, Like and Share&nbsp;<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><span face=\"Roboto, Arial, sans-serif\" style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><span color=\"rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9)\" face=\"-apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, &quot;Fira Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Oxygen, &quot;Oxygen Sans&quot;, Cantarell, &quot;Droid Sans&quot;, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Lucida Grande&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" style=\"background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;\">Credit |&nbsp;<\/span><a dir=\"auto\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCqX5N4daG-iBvndZpw7wyzA\" spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #004182; cursor: pointer; display: var(--yt-endpoint-display,inline-block); font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: var(--yt-endpoint-word-wrap,none); padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-decoration: var(--yt-endpoint-text-regular-decoration,none); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; word-break: var(--yt-endpoint-word-break,none);\">FREE WILL MAGIK<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/ad.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/show?id=uZFBfTfLWt4&amp;bids=512744.119&amp;type=4&amp;subid=0\" width=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p> <\/center><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<p><center><br \/><\/center><center><br \/><\/center><center>&nbsp; <strong>References<\/strong><\/center><br \/>\n<center style=\"text-align: left;\"><br \/>\nByrd, James (2018) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Future-2020-James-Byrd-ebook\/dp\/B07H326RDY\/ref=as_li_bk_tl\/?tag=protocolenterpri&amp;linkId=63f2720ba0fbf652df00d7f20f4bf56e&amp;linkCode=ktl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;The Future&#8221;<\/a><\/center><br \/>\nHuang, Kerson, and Rosemary (1987). <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0894803190\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0894803190&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=protocolenterpri&amp;linkId=QRXUJPIBC77D5CBV\">I Ching<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=protocolenterpri&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0894803190\" style=\"border: none; margin: 0px;\" width=\"1\" \/><br \/>\nKarcher, S. and Ritesema, R.
