Managers are obsessed with the game. It's very, very difficult, if not impossible, to live a balanced lifestyle.
Howard Wilkinson
Image
Managers are the basic and scarcest resource of any business enterprise.
Peter Drucker
Image
Managers must see themselves as experimenters who lead learning, not dictators who impose control.
Peter R. Scholtes
Image
Managers tend to pick a strategy that is the least likely to fail, rather then to pick a strategy that is most efficient, Said Palmer. The pain of looking bad is worse than the gain of making the best move.

Managers are the most creative people in the world.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Managers who master the hammer and expect all problems to behave like nails find organizational life confusing and frustrating.
Lee Bolman
Image
Managers all over the world will go crazy when their artists are not touting the party line and making things pretty in the way that they're supposed to, but it's different when your manager is your husband. It's contrary to your soul. That commercial interest presses in upon your whole personal life.

Managers will work for a salary. Entrepreneurs create new businesses. Many people have capital, but instead of making money for business they build houses for rent. It's easy money to collect rental.
John Gokongwei

Robert Townsend
Image
Managers should understand there are some simple things they can do tomorrow that will make a big difference in their culture, but so few managers do them.

Managers don't like giving appraisals, and employees don't like getting them. Perhaps they're not liked because both parties suspect what the evidence has proved for decades: Traditional performance appraisals don't work.
W. Edwards Deming
Image
Managers who don't know how to measure what they want settle for wanting what they can measure.
Russell L. Ackoff
Image
Managers’ typical response to my argument about free time is, ‘That’s all well and good, but there are things I have to do.’ Yet we waste so much time in unproductive activity—it takes an enormous effort on the part of the leader to keep free time for the truly important things.
Dov Frohman
Image
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.
Henry Mintzberg
Image
Managers construct, rearrange, single out, and demolish many 'objective' features of their surroundings. When people act they unrandomize variables, insert vestiges of orderliness, and literally create their own constraints.
