PRINCIPLES OF COMMAND : The command must be clear

One of the common mistakes in giving the order is thought that the command given is clear enough. This is because the command is not given regularly, given in a hurry or casually. Commands such as this generally is the command given orally. Written orders generally been prepared in advance so that such orders more clearly than a verbal command. Commands that have been clear to the command, a lot of possibilities not so clear to recipients orders. This is due to two main reasons, namely

(1) the difficulties in the use of words meaning berwayuh
(2) the half-center of attention. Thus giving the command must be clear to those who receive the respective command.

A command is clear, where the command when it meets the following six elements: why, who, what, when, where, and how. With elements of "why", the command must contain the reasons given considerations of expenditure and this alone can reduce misunderstanding and a reluctance to implement them. With elements "who", the command must be given to the right people to remember the experience and proficient knowledge in implementing the task. Furthermore, with the third element of "what", itru command should contain an explanation about what to do with the words easily understood. Then the elements "which" demands from an order granting an explanation of where the materials and tools found, in which tasks must be done. Furthermore, the elements of "how", demanding an explanation about everything that concerns about the assignment was sejelasnya so the recipient feels command has obtained facts sufficient to carry out the tasks entrusted to her.
