> (1) Insist on doing everything through “channels.” Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.
> (2) Make “speeches.” Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your “points” by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences...
> (3) When possible, refer all matters to committees, for “further study and consideration.” Attempt to make the committees as large as possible—never less than five.
> (4) Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.
> (5) Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.
> (6) Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.
