If You Are Attempting The Impossible, You Will Fail.

If Sophisticated Calculations Are Needed To Justify An Action, Don't Do It.

Most People Don't Manage To The Utmost Of Their Ability Because They Don't Want To.

The Difference Between Management And Administration (which Is What Bureaucrats Used To Do Exclusively) Is The Difference Between Choice And Rigidity.

Management Is A Far More Homely Business Than Its Would Be Scientists Suggest, More Closely Allied To Cookery Than Any Other Human Activity. Like Cooking, It Rests On A Degree Of Organisation And On Adequate Resources. But Just As No Two Chefs Run Their Kitchens The Same Way, So No Two Managements Are The Same.
