Good management consists in showing average people how to do the work of superior people.

The conventional definition of management is getting work done through people but real management is developing people through work.

So much of what we call management consists in making it difficult for people to work.

The productivity of work is not the responsibility of the worker but of the manager.

Managers in all too many American companies do not achieve the desired results because nobody makes them do it.

Management must manage!

Management is nothing more than motivating other people.

I don't work a five-day week as a rule and I've managed to fill that time up. It hasn't been that hard. I volunteer at school. I'm working because I love it. Yet I don't not envy women who have a stay-at-home job because you miss stuff.

I merged those two words black and feminist because I was surrounded by black women who were very tough and and who always assumed they had to work and rear children and manage homes.

Avon is a unique place to work we've got family-friendly policies. We have more senior women in high-level management than any other company 46 percent of our officers are women.

We don't pray for the land. We pray for the humans all humans... starting with the president Mohammed Morsi and all officials and for God to give everyone wisdom and responsibility to manage the affairs of this country and its people in true Egyptian spirit.

I'm not a money manager but I can tell you what the conventional wisdom is. The younger you are the more risk you can take on.

All free governments are managed by the combined wisdom and folly of the people.

People always blame the girl she should have said no. A monosyllable but conventional wisdom has always been that boys can't manage it.

The older I get the more wisdom I find in the ancient rule of taking first things first. A process which often reduces the most complex human problem to a manageable proportion.

Look at what President Kennedy managed to achieve during the Cuban missile crisis. If Bush had been president in 1962 do you think he would have avoided a nuclear war?

We managed to put together a compilation that had some creativity to it. In the meantime I was listening to the free radio stations and I noticed that during their war coverage they were playing these songs born out of the Vietnam War that were all critical of the soldiers.

Brainy folks were also present in Lyndon Johnson's administration especially in the Pentagon where Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara's brilliant 'whiz kids' tried to micro-manage the Vietnam war with disastrous results.

The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.

God help us from those who believe that they are the sole possessors of truth. How we manage at times to agree willingly to become prisoners within our own minds and souls of beliefs and ideas on which we can never be flexible.

It's good to have a manager who shares your interests or goals. You can presumably trust a husband. I don't know if it's the best way to work. I really shouldn't discuss this.

Millions have been taken from me. If you are not on top of it and you make a lot of money and you trust business managers then yes money will be taken from you.

The Macau casinos have a wonderful business it's taking in money from Chinese businessmen elsewhere who send it through junky companies to casinos to gamble. The growth continues and they have basically western managers and western accounting so we trust the numbers a little bit more.

There is so much temptation to hold on to my career even more now. To try to micromanage and dictate every little aspect. But that's not how I want to do things anymore. I'm thinking about how can I trust God more. How can I surrender more? How can I bring him more glory? It's a fight. But it's one I'm going to keep fighting.

I hope to have more time to think to look at the sky dealing with less crisis management to learn another language to travel.

My job is to be a spokesman - the spokesman I suppose - for the President for the White House to do the daily briefings to manage the press corps in terms of travel day-to-day needs access interviews all those issues.

The secret to modern life is finding the measure in time management. I have two kids career and I travel and I don't think my life is any different than most couples. The most valuable commodity now for many people is time and how to parcel that out.

Don't be a time manager be a priority manager. Cut your major goals into bite-sized pieces. Each small priority or requirement on the way to ultimate goal become a mini goal in itself.

Management by objective works - if you know the objectives. Ninety percent of the time you don't.

For a long time I tried to manage an honesty and openness about my personal life because I'm human and I'm normal - well semi-normal.
