“In the minds of great managers, consistent poor performance is not primarily a matter of weakness, stupidity, disobedience, or disrespect. It is a matter of miscasting.”
“Management controls performance in people because it impacts skills; it’s a matter of monitoring, analyzing and directing.”
“Little minds try to solve the matters through violence and darkness; great minds try to solve the matters through love and light!”
“You must believe, sooner or later, in a Mind which brought mind into existence out of matter, unless you are going to sit down before the hopeless metaphysical contradiction of saying that matter somehow managed to develop itself into mind.”
“My definition of a great manager is someone with whom you can make a connection no matter where you sit in the organization chart.”
“Management is about human beings. Its task is to make people capable of joint performance, to make their strengths effective and their weaknesses irrelevant.”
