Power people are generally threatened by authority people.

A rut... is little more than a coffin with the ends kicked out.

Our top-down pyramid style of management is a very old concept borrowed from centuries of war and monarchies.

Authority: The skill of getting people to willingly do your will, because of your personal influence.

A seagull manager is one who periodically flies into the area, makes a lot of noise, dumps on the people, maybe eats their lunch, and flies away.

(A manager) once confided in me she liked to picture in her mind's eye that every employee was wearing one of those sandwich billboard signs. On the front side, the sign would read 'Appreciate Me' and on the back side 'Make Me Feel Important.'

Authority is always built on service and sacrifice.
