The first rule of management is delegation. Don't try and do everything yourself because you can't.

What I do will be straight up. Management knows that.
The toughest thing about managing is knowing your personnel and what it can give you under all conditions.
Surround yourself with the best people you can find, delegate authority, and don't interfere as long as the policy you've decided upon is being carried out.
I figured managing people was obvious - I'd tell someone what they needed to do and they'd do what I wanted. It turns out that's not the case. It was frustrating at first.
Look first at management. That's the key to a company.
Management must manage!
If you're going to maintain true authorities over a subordinate organization, you have to have some control over policy formulation of that organization and also the resources that are applied to it.
Managing is like holding a dove in your hand. Squeeze too hard and you kill it, not hard enough and it flies away.
Manage yourself first and others will take your orders.
The key to management is to get rid of the managers.
