Never underrate the boss! The boss may look illiterate. He may look stupid. But there is no risk at all in overrating a boss. If you underrate him he will bitterly resent it or impute to you the deficiency in brains and knowledge you imputed to him.

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

A person can perform only from strength. One cannot build performance on weakness, let alone on something one cannot do at all.

The purpose of an organization is to enable ordinary humans beings to do extraordinary things.

The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday's logic.

The most serious mistakes are not being made as a result of wrong answers. The true dangerous thing is asking the wrong question.

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