Many think of management as cutting deals and laying people off and hiring people and buying and selling companies. That's not management, that's deal making. Management is the opportunity to help people become better people. Practiced that way, it's a magnificent profession.

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

My idea of management is that what your job is as the boss is to find really good people and empower them and leave them alone.

Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them.

I think management is about just that - managing people via man-to-man skills.

Management's job is to convey leadership's message in a compelling and inspiring way. Not just in meetings, but also by example.

You can teach all sorts of things that improve the practice of management with people who are managers. What you cannot do is teach management to somebody who is not a manager, the way you cannot teach surgery to somebody whose not a surgeon.

Good management has helped me find much of the success I've got.

The key to management is to get rid of the managers.

Management is about arranging and telling. Leadership is about nurturing and enhancing.
