Either an executive can do his job or he can't.

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

In getting good results team leaders become conductor rather than driver, enabling others to play the right music, not by hands-on domination of all decisions and execution, but by providing inspiration, motivation and stimulus.

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 first myth of management is that it exists. The second myth of management is that success equals skill.

No executive devotes effort to proving himself wrong.

Think before you act: it's not your money.
