Classic book on management.
Notes
- We could use people of broader knowledge. We certainly could use people of much greater abilities in many places. But not much can be done with further effort in these 2 areas. P18. Bullshit.
- Brilliant men are often strikingly ineffectual - p11
- Manual work - doing things right rather getting the right things done.
- The greatest wisdom not applied to action is meaningless data -p5
- You can manage no one yet be an executive p8
- Execs - make decisions of impact upon results
- Because of 4 affordances of the corporation, the exec should assume that he will be ineffective, unless special means are taken to become effective.
