THE WHOLE AND THE PARTS
It is axiomatic that the whole is equal to the sum of its parts. In dividing up any “whole”, be certain that every part, including unseen elements and relationships, is accounted for. An illustration in building a house could be done better through the presence of an architect who will make the plan so that division of labor is properly disseminated to the workers. In this way, each skilled worker could know what to do and when to do it. It will also reduce spoilage of materials and the time spent in building the house will be reduced. Letting only one man to do all the work will just be a menace.
The more the work is subdivided, the greater is the need of overall supervision and co-ordination. Co-ordination must be won by intelligent, vigorous, persistent and organized effort.
