Very few fathers either plan or organize the "teaching" of their sons. What usually happens is that the son is "broken in" at various jobs through the years; he learns by simple observation and by doing. There are many subjects which he must learn, and for most of them this procedure is quite adequate. Specifically, he will learn about your business-liquor distributions, turkey farming, or whatever-in this way. Since most presidents intend to remain in command for many years, this process is seldom hurried; things the father learned in a few months are piecemealed to his son over the years, while he moves from department to department, from menial production tasks to those with some responsibility, then to foreman through engineering, purchasing, sales, estimating, and so on. Generally by-passed during his progression through the company are a number of areas which are of minor importance or which you consider necessary evils such as credit management, maintenance, quality control, office management, accounting, advertising, personnel management, and shipping. Over the years, your son will learn those things which you found important in starting and building your business. He will learn what you know-at least, what you feel he needs to know to become your helper.
