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

Organizational busy work tends to expand to fill the working day.

Get the right people. Then no matter what all else you might do wrong after that, the people will save you. That's what management is all about.

Some of the most flowery praise you hear on the subject of teams is only hypocrisy. Managers learn to talk a good game about teams even when they're secretly threatened by the whole concept.

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

The fundamental response to change is not logical, but emotional.

There are a million ways to lose a work day, but not even a single way to get one back.
