Recipe for Conflict



  • Make sure that the lines of authority overlap so people will dispute over turf.



  • Refrain from establishing systems and procedures. Use fear of bureaucracy to create anarchy and confusion.



  • Impose no penalties if people violate the rules.



  • When conflict arises, ascribe it to personalities and not to systems. That way, you can be assured that the disputes will continue.
