n terms of habits, even to the
underlying spirit of cooeperation which, as we shall show in
"Welfare," is one of the most important ideas of Scientific
Management. These right habits of Scientific Management are the
cause, as well as the result, of progress, and the right habits,
which have such a tremendous psychological importance, are the
result of insisting that right motions be used from the very
beginning of the first day.

FROM RIGHT HABITS OF MOTION COMES SPEED OF MOTIONS.--
Concentrating the mind on the next motion causes speed of motion.
Under Scientific Management, the underlying thought of sequence of
motions is so presented that the worker can remember them, and make
them in the shortest time possible.

RESPONSE TO STANDARDS BECOMES ALMOST AUTOMATIC.--The standard
methods, being associated from the start with right habits of
motions only, cause an almost automatic response. There are no
discarded habits to delay response.

STEADY NERVES RESULT.--Oftentimes the power to refrain from
action is quite as much a sign of education and training as the
power to react quickly from a sensation. Such conduct is called, in
some cases, "steady nerves." The forming of right habits is a great
aid toward these steady nerves. The man who knows that he is taught
the right way, is able almost automatically to resist any
suggestions which come to him to carry out wrong ways. So the man
who is absolutely sure of his method, for example, in laying brick,
will not be tempted to make those extra motions which, after all,
are merely an exhibition in his hand of the vacillation that is
going on in his brain, as to whether he really is handling that
brick in exactly the most efficient manner, or not.

REASON AND WILL ARE EDUCATED.--"The education of hand and muscle
implies a corresponding training of reasoning and will; and the
cooerdination of movements accompanies the cooerdination of
thoughts."[26]

The standards of Scientific Management educate hand and muscle;
the education of hand and muscle train the mind; the mind improves
the standards. Thus we have a continuous cycle.

JUDGMENT RESULTS WITH NO WASTE OF TIME.--Judgment is the outcome
of learning the right way, and knowing that it is the right way.
There is none of the lost time of "trying out" various methods that
exists under Traditional Management.

This power of judgment will not only enable the possessor to
decide correctly as to th
