Managers Who Don't Lead Are

Never Set Out To Be The Best. It's Too Low A Standard. Set Out To Be Good. Do Your Best.

Everyone Is Against Micro Managing But Macro Managing Means You're Working At The Big Picture But Don't Know The Details.

The Great Myth Is The Manager As Orchestra Conductor. It's This Idea Of Standing On A Pedestal And You Wave Your Baton And Accounting Comes In, And You Wave It Somewhere Else And Marketing Chimes In With Accounting, And They All Sound Very Glorious. But Management Is More Like Orchestra Conducting During Rehearsals, When Everything Is Going Wrong.

We're All Flawed, But Basically, Effective Managers Are People Whose Flaws Are Not Fatal Under The Circumstances. Maybe The Best Managers Are Simply Ordinary, Healthy People Who Aren't Too Screwed Up.

When The World Is Predictable You Need Smart People. When The World Is Unpredictable You Need Adaptable People.
