CERPTS FROM MY BOOK

HAPTER 8: TIME & LIFE MANAGEMENT

In the end, youre measured
not by how much you
undertake, but by what you
finally accomplish.
The best that an individual can
do is to concentrate on what
he can do, in the course of a
burning effort to do it better.
Failing organization are usually
over-managed and under-led.
Good management consists in
showing average people how
to do work of superior people.

Hire people smarter than you

and get out of the way.
