Theory Is A Dirty Word In Some

Corporations Are Economic Entities, To Be Sure, But They Are Also Social Institutions That Must Justify Their Existence By Their Overall Contribution To Society.

Managers Who Don't Lead Are Quite Discouraging, But Leaders Who Don't Manage Don't Know What's Going On. It's A Phony Separation That People Are Making Between The Two.

We Find That The Manager, Particularly At Senior Levels, Is Overburdened With Work. With The Increasing Complexity Of Modern Organizations And Their Problems, He Is Destined To Become More So. He Is Driven To Brevity, Fragmentation, And Superficiality In His Tasks, Yet He Cannot Easily Delegate Them Because Of The Nature Of His Information.

While Hard Data May Inform The Intellect, It Is Largely Soft Data That Generates Wisdom.

A Leader Has To Be One Of Two Things: He Either Has To Be A Brilliant Visionary Himself, A Truly Creative Strategist, In Which Case He Can Do What He Likes And Get Away With It; Or Else He Has To Be A True Empowerer Who Can Bring Out The Best In Others.
