The World Managed by Fat People

When he is brainy the fat man never stays in the lower ranks of
subordinates. He may get a late start in an establishment but he will
soon make those _over_ him like him so well they will promote him to a
chief-clerkship, a foremanship or a managership. Once there he will make
those _under_ him so fond of him that they will work long and hard for
him.


Fat Men to the Top

In this way the fat man of real brains goes straight to the top while
others look on and bewail the fact that they do most of the actual work.
They fail to recognize that the world always pays the big salaries not
for hand work but for head work, and not so much for working yourself as
for your ability to get others to work.
