Handbook for Management: Command and Control

The Role of Leadership

As a leader within the organization (Party), your power comes with responsibility. You must maintain order, ensure obedience, and maximize profitability. A strong, disciplined operation keeps the entire system running smoothly.

1. Enforcing Loyalty and Omertà

• Monitor your men closely—trust is earned, not given.
• Use fear and rewards in equal measure. Those who perform well should be compensated; those who fail should be made an example of.
• Anyone caught violating Omertà must be dealt with immediately and without hesitation.

2. Maintaining Hierarchy and Discipline

• Reinforce the chain of command at all times. Disobedience is contagious—stamp it out early.
• Minor infractions warrant reprimands or financial penalties; serious infractions may require physical discipline.
• Challenge to authority is unacceptable—those who defy leadership must be eliminated.

3. Commanding Respect

• You must command respect through fear, competence, and decisiveness.
• Never tolerate insubordination; a leader who is questioned openly is a weak leader.
• Rituals, formalities, and displays of power help reinforce your position.

4. Managing Territory

• Control over territory means control over resources and revenue streams.
• Establish clear rules for who operates where, and enforce them strictly.
• Rival organizations must not be allowed to encroach—failure to defend territory is weakness.

5. Overseeing Profit-Driven Activities

• Every soldier must generate revenue. Ensure their operations are running efficiently and without interference.
• Keep a close eye on financial records—embezzlement is a cancer that must be removed immediately.
• Profits must flow upward—always take your cut, and ensure leadership above you gets theirs.

6. The Strategic Use of Violence

• Violence must be controlled and deliberate. Reckless violence attracts attention and destabilizes operations.
• Ensure enforcers are disciplined and act only on approved orders.
• Political connections and law enforcement bribery can minimize unwanted consequences of necessary violence.

7. Upholding Honor and Internal Cohesion

• Betrayal is the greatest crime—eliminate traitors without hesitation.
• Protect the families of members, as loyalty extends beyond individuals.
• Encourage camaraderie and loyalty through shared experiences, traditions, and financial incentives.

A strong leader ensures a strong organization. Rule with an iron fist, but wield it wisely. Power is nothing without control.
