Good Ideas Are Not Adopted Automatically. They

What It Takes To Do A Job Will Not Be Learned From Management Courses. It Is Principally A Matter Of Experience, The Proper Attitude, And Common Sense — None Of Which Can Be Taught In A Classroom... Human Experience Shows That People, Not Organizations Or Management Systems, Get Things Done.

A System Under Which It Takes Three Men To Check What One Is Doing Is Not Control; It Is Systematic Strangulation.

It Is A Human Inclination To Hope Things Will Work Out, Despite Evidence Or Doubt To The Contrary. A Successful Manager Must Resist This Temptation.

It Troubles Me That We Are So Easily Pressured By Purveyors Of Technology Into Permitting So-called "progress" To Alter Our Lives Without Attempting To Control It-as If Technology Were An Irrepressible Force Of Nature To Which We Must Meekly Submit.

All New Ideas Begin In A Non-conforming Mind That Questions Some Tenet Of The Conventional Wisdom.
