The first myth of management is that it exists.

No talent in management is worth more than the ability to master facts-not just any facts, but the ones that provide the best answers.

If sophisticated calculations are needed to justify an action, don't do it.

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

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

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