Follow effective action with quiet reflection.

Efficiency is doing better what is already being done.

Ideas are cheap and abundant; what is of value is the effective placement of those ideas into situations that develop into action.

Successful leaders don't start out asking, 'What do I want to do?' They ask, 'What needs to be done?' Then they ask, 'Of those things that would make a difference, which are right for me?'

Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.

Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.

A man should never be appointed into a managerial position if his vision focuses on people's weaknesses rather than on their strengths.
