1. Take control. Take control. Take control. Take control by force, as necessary. Otherwise, volunteer to take on the responsibilities of others: the more necessary the responsibility, the more important it is to take control of it.
2. If force can be used instead of cooperation, use force.
3. Keep your fellow man in a state of fear.
4. Make your workings as complicated as possible.
5. Do the exact opposite of that which is predictable: always keep your fellow man guessing.
6. Create structures that appear to help others while actually damning them further.
7. Make everything you do arbitrary: dissociate cause and effect.
8. Reward those who support you.
9. Villainize all who oppose you.
10. Obfuscate the meanings of words: jargonize everything. Take ideologically good words and redefine them to mean their opposite.
11. Convince your fellow man that he is stupid and incapable of making intelligent decisions or understanding anything.
12. Praise your own special insight. Even better, encourage others to do it.
13. Make blind faith a virtue.
14. When the systems you've designed inevitably fail, assert blame onto others. Then, volunteer your services to fix the problem. Change something but fix nothing.
15. Repeat.

I am positive I've left a number of other guidelines off and/or been redundant. As such, if you have any suggestions or additions, post a comment and I will edit this post, accordingly.

Note 1: In case you were wondering, NO I do not advocate any of the above practices. Rather, I'm just pointing out certain common denominators of institutionalization.
