The Prime Occupational Hazard Of

The Prime Occupational Hazard Of A Manager Is Superficiality.

Organizations Should Be Built And Managers Should Be Functioning So People Can Be Naturally Empowered. If Someone's Doing Their Job, If Someone's Working In One Of Your Warehouses, Say, They Should Know Their Job Better Than Anybody. They Don't Need To Be 'empowered,' But Encouraged And Left Alone To Be Able To Do What They Know Best.

Most Of The Time, Strategies Should Not Be Formulating Strategy At All; They Should Be Getting On With Implementing Strategies They Already Have.

The Idea That You Can Take Smart But Inexperienced 25-year-olds Who Never Managed Anything And Turn Them Into Effective Managers Via Two Years Of Classroom Training Is Ludicrous.

Strategies Grow Initially Like Weeds In A Garden, They Are Not Cultivated Like Tomatoes In A Hothouse.
