Management means, in the last analysis, the substitution of thought for brawn and muscle, of knowledge for folkways and superstition, and of cooperation for force. It means the substitution of responsibility for obedience to rank, and of authority of performance for the authority of rank.

Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.

Business has only two basic functions - marketing and innovation.

People in any organization, including bureaucrats and politicians, are always attached to the obsolete; the obsolescent; the things that should have worked but didn't; the things that once were productive and no longer are.

Strong people have strong weaknesses.

Meetings are by definition a concession to deficient organization. For one either meets or one works.

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