Americans are more familiar with the benefits of discipline, in fact, than conscious of them in theory. Anyone who should try to manage a factory, a bank, a railroad, a ship, a military company, or an athletic team, on the principle of having every employee or member of the organization take whatever part in the work, and do it in whatever way emed 【小题1】（good）in his own eyes, 【小题2】（come）to sudden grief and be mercilessly laughed at. We all know that any enterpri can be successful only if there is coordination of effort, or 【小题3】for short we call team play, and that this can happen only if the nature of each man’s work, and the way he is to perform it, is
arranged with a view to the whole, so that each part 【小题4】（fit）into its place contributes its proper share to the total result. Experience 【小题5】（teach）us that the
blockgtgmaximum efficiency is attained 【小题6】the team play is most nearly perfect, and therefore, the subordination（附属，从属）of the individual to the combined action is most nearly complete.

If there is to be a plan for combined action, somebody must have power to decide what that plan shall be; and if the part of every performer is 【小题10】（subordinate）to the plan. Moreover, that authority must have some means of carrying its directions into effect. It must be maintained by discipline; either by
forcing tho who do not play their parts rightly to conform to the general plan, or by eliminating them from the organization.
