Management is not being brilliant. Management is being conscientious.

It’s up to you to carve out your place, to know when to change course, and to keep yourself engaged and productive during a work life that may span some 50 years.

There's nothing so useless than executing a task efficiently when it actually never should have been executed at all.

Leadership is lifting a person's vision to high sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.

Executives owe it to the organization and to their fellow workers not to tolerate nonperforming individuals in important jobs.

What managers decide to stop doing is often more important than what they decide to do.

No decision has been made unless carrying it out in specific steps has become someone's work assignment and responsibility.
