Barnard: the authority a subordinate grants
An instruction has force only if the person it is addressed to accepts it. In a volunteer club you see that every week.
An instruction lies on paper until the receiver accepts it, and they accept only when four conditions hold at once.
- The situation
The person who handles communication agreed to write up the event. Two weeks on, nothing.
- What the model says
They understood it and think it useful. But they had two university deadlines that week — the fourth condition was missing.
- What you do
Ask them in one sentence which condition was missing, and agree a new date after that deadline week.
