Strategy is a pattern in a stream of decisions

Everyone is against micro managing but macro managing means you're working at the big picture but don't know the details.

Organizations are communities of human beings, not collections of human resources

Strategies grow initially like weeds in a garden, they are not cultivated like tomatoes in a hothouse.

No generalizing beyond the data, no theory. No theory, no insight. And if no insight, why do research.

You can teach all sorts of things that improve the practice of management with people who are managers. What you cannot do is teach management to somebody who is not a manager, the way you cannot teach surgery to somebody whose not a surgeon.

An enterprise is a community of human beings, not a collection of "human resources".
