First law of Bad Management: If something isn't working, do more of it.

The manager's function is not to make people work, but to make it possible for people to work.

Computer system analysis is like child-rearing; you can do grievous damage, but you cannot ensure success.

What we are looking for is managers who are awake enough to alter the world as they find it, to make it harmonize with what they and their people are trying to accomplish.

The purpose of a team is not goal attainment but goal alignment.

The more you focus on control, the more likely you're working on a project that's striving to deliver something of relatively minor value.

Product quality has almost nothing to do with defects or their lack.
