Management is a curious phenomenon. It is generously paid, enormously influential, and significantly devoid of common sense

The prime occupational hazard of a manager is superficiality.

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

Why does every generation have to think that he lives in the period with the greatest turbulence?

Strategy is not the consequence of planning, but the opposite: its starting point.

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

I describe management as arts, crafts and science. It is a practice that draws on arts, craft and science and there is a lot of craft - meaning experience - there is a certain amount of craft meaning insight, creativity and vision, and there is the use of science, technique or analysis.
