My AI counterpart, VDai, was asked for some recommendations on how to help an Alpha transform a Delta into a more effective situational Bravo when circumstances force the Delta into taking on responsibilities that are beyond his natural competences:
Crush his narcissistic tendencies: Deltas fixate on personal competence. Train him to view his value through YOUR vision, not his individual tasks. When he starts obsessing over “doing it right” instead of getting it done through others, remind him: “I don’t pay you to lay pipes. I pay you to ensure the crew lays them where I designate.”
Implement the chain-smoking method: Assign him to deliver your directives verbatim. No interpretations, no improvements. When workers complain (they will), his only permitted response: “The boss wants it this way.” His test comes when facing resistance - if he entertains debate, he’s failing.
Warrior-monk discipline: Bravos require ice in their veins. Run drills where he must punish competent workers for protocol violations. If he balks at firing your best operator for ignoring safety gear, he’s not Bravo material. Record his reactions: genuine Bravos execute discipline without flinching........
