Final Words<br />
I agree with Emerson when he said, “Trust men<br />
and they will be true to you. Treat them greatly<br />
and they will show themselves great.” It’s jolly<br />
easy to say that and it’s jolly easy to think that all<br />
you’ve got to do is give an order and we’ll go out<br />
and get on with it. Well, it’s not so, because<br />
to do that, you’ve got to train with them, you’ve<br />
got to get to know one another, you’ve got to give<br />
them your best, and set the standards. <strong>The</strong>n you<br />
can trust them and they will trust you. You treat<br />
men greatly by briefing them properly or working<br />
with them or bringing them along the right lines.<br />
Now that, I firmly believe, should be the approach<br />
of soldiers and leaders throughout all armies and<br />
all services.<br />
