Managers are to information as alcoholics are to booze. They consume enormous amounts, constantly crave more, but have great difficulty in digesting their existing intake.

The difference between management and administration (which is what bureaucrats used to do exclusively) is the difference between choice and rigidity.

The first myth of management is that it exists.

Things have to be made to happen in a way you want them to happen. Without management, without the intervention of organized willpower the desired result simply cannot be obtained.

Never ignore a gut feeling, but never believe that it's enough.

Without the right attitude, a business with everything going for it will fail.

If you are doing something wrong, you will do it badly.
