The ablest administrators do not merely draw logical conclusions from the array of facts of the past which their expert assistants bring to them, they have a vision of the future.

The manager cannot share his power with division superintendent or foreman or workman, but he can give them opportunities for developing their power.

Management is the art of getting things done through people.
