The Second-in-command Principle: Why should I have a substitute? Won’t I lose my job?
Synopsis
This lecture from ex-Army officer and Management Trainer, Cathie, explains the Second-in-Command (2IC) system developed by the military for every job-role and every function, and how it can be applied to any organisation to increase the motivation, capability and functioning of the team. The 2IC principle is key to coping with work surges, staff shortages or loss of key people and ensures the next generation of leaders at every level. Not only does it play a positive role in reducing turn-over, it leads to the assumption of responsibility at every level which is absolutely KEY in an industry that employs a large number young people, and is easy to implement!
