ny v7 ¥ ¢ 6--THE PORT PERRY STAR, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16th, 1984 0 Many Things By Ambrose Hills SELF-RELIANCE : A big corporation gave a farewell dinner to its personnel man last night, He was an old man--seventy-two yrs old, but kept in harness long past re tirement because of his uncanny abil. ity to select men. At the dinner were a number of top-flight executives who had been hired, originally, by old Bill When the president made his fare- well speech to Bill he said, "Hiring men is. getting to be a science. The _ personnel department now has all sorts of graphs:and charts and tests to give. But Bill never needed any of that new-fangled paraphernalia. And yet his judgment was almost al- ways right. He could spot, instinc- tively, the young man or woman the 7 company would be able to. count on for good performance. He has prob- ably contributed more to this corpora- tion than any other single individual, because he has helped us to select the right men and women for the various positions so important to the -corpora- tion." Naturally, I wanted to learn Bill's secret. This morning I was able to get half an hour with him. He told me how he judges men. "T have an imaginary little country "in my mind that isn't on any map," he said. "I look at the boy or girl before me and ask myself this ques- tion: If this country was to be de- veloped, would this be a good boy or girl to send on an expedition to de- velop it? Would- this person go on such an expedition, determined to look after himself and try to do a little extra to help his companions? Would he go with the notion of get- tinig all he vould out of it for himself, or would he go with the idea of build- ing it up so that eéveryone in the ex- pedition would gain? When I have satisfied myself on these points, I am 959, sure of my man. I think that is a good way of ila: ing men. It is also a good way tof judge a Contiv. As long as Canada is peopled by citizens willing to look after themselves and do a little extra for their neighbours, we will succeed. But if there ever comes a day when we have a majority of citizens who expect others to look after them, we will fail. I sometimes wonder If, in our scramble for the welfare state, we are not forgetting the old-fashioned vir- tue of self-reliance which Bill looked for in job candidates. If we are, we may attain the welfare state -- but there will not be any welfare for any- Welfare is the product of self- Lose that and you lose the one, reliance. other.
