Management Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Management

1.
The difference between management and administration(which is what the bureaucrats used to do exclusively) is the difference between choice and rigidity.
Heller, Robert

2.
When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.
Buffett, Warren

3.
If you are the master be sometimes blind, if you are the servant be sometimes deaf.
Fuller, R. Buckminster

4.
The productivity of work is not the responsibility of the worker but of the manager.
Drucker, Peter F.

5.
If you want to manage somebody, manage yourself. Do that well and you'll be ready to stop managing. And start leading.

6.
Management by objective works -- if you know the objectives. Ninety percent of the time you don't.
Drucker, Peter F.

7.
Remember that when an employee enters your office, they are in a strange land.
Schell, Erwin H.

8.
An overburdened, over-stretched executive is the best executive, because he or she doesn't have the time to meddle, to deal in trivia, to bother people
Welch, Jack

9.
Managers have traditionally developed the skills in finance, planning, marketing and production techniques. Too often the relationships with their people have been assigned a secondary role. This is too important a subject not to receive first line attention.
Hewlitt, William

10.
Damn the great executives, the men of measured merriment, damn the men with careful smiles, damn the men that run the shops, oh, damn their measured merriment.
Lewis, Sinclair

11.
Man is the principal syllable in Management.
Mckenzie, C. T.

12.
If you want to give a man credit, put it in writing. If you want to give him hell, do it on the phone.
Beacham, Charles

13.
An executive is someone who talks with visitors so the other employees can get their work done.

14.
I head a nation of a million presidents.
Weizmann, Chaim.

15.
Management that is destructively critical when mistakes are made kills initiative and it's essential that we have many people with initiative if we're to continue to grow.
Lehr, Lewis

16.
They that govern the most make the least noise.
Selden, John

17.
The one word that makes a good manager -- decisiveness.
Iacocca, Lee

18.
The greatest manager has a knack for making ballplayers think they are better than they think they are.
Jackson, Reggie

19.
A manager is an assistant to his men.
Watson, Thomas J.

20.
A president either is constantly on top of events or, if he hesitates, events will soon be on top of him. I never felt that I could let up for a moment.
Truman, Harry S

21.
As a manager the important thing is not what happens when you are there, but what happens when you are not there.
Blanchard, Ken

22.
A good manager is a man who isn't worried about his own career but rather the careers of those who work for him. My advice: Don't worry about yourself. Take care of those who work for you and you'll float to greatness on their achievements.
Burns, H.S.M.

23.
If each one does their duty as an individual and if each one works in their own proper vocation, it will be right with the whole.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

24.
A man is known by the company he organizes.
Bierce, Ambrose

25.
For a manager to be perceived as a positive manager, they need a four to one positive to negative contact ratio.
Blanchard, Ken

26.
Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.
Covey, Stephen R.

27.
Good management consists in showing average people how to do the work of superior people.
Rockefeller, John D.

28.
Any manager who can't get along with a .400 hitter is crazy.
Mccarthy, Joe

29.
Not to watch your workmen is to lose your money.
Proverb, Spanish

30.
To supervise people, you must either surpass them in their accomplishments or despise them.
Disraeli, Benjamin

31.
I would rather have a first-class manager running a second-rate business than a second-rate manager running a first-rate business.
Reichert, Jack E.

32.
A man may be a tough, concentrated, successful money-maker and never contribute to his country anything more than a horrible example. A manager may be tough and practical, squeezing out, while the going is good, the last ounce of profit and dividend, and may leave behind him an exhausted industry and a legacy of industrial hatred. A tough manager may never look outside his own factory walls or be conscious of his partnership in a wider world. I often wonder what strange cud such men sit chewing when their working days are over, and the accumulating riches of the mind have eluded them.
Menzies, Robert

33.
Pay your people the least possible and you'll get from them the same.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

34.
There is no class of people so hard to manage in a state, as those whose intentions are honest, but whose consciences are bewitched.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

35.
A computer will not make a good manager out of a bad manager. It makes a good manager better faster and a bad manager worse faster.
Esber, Edward

36.
Managing is like holding a dove in your hand. Squeeze too hard and you kill it, not hard enough and it flies away.
Lasorda, Tommy

37.
I've been promoted to middle management. I never thought I'd sink so low.
Gould, Tim

38.
A memorandum is not written to inform the reader, but to protect the writer.
Acheson, Dean

39.
Management's job is to see the company not as it is... but as it can become.
Teets, John W.

40.
We are now in the third stage of the industrial revolution. The first involved machines which extended human muscle; the second used machines to extend the human nervous system (radio, television, telephones); the third is now utilizing machines which extend the human mind-computers. About half of all service workers (43 percent of the labor force by 2000) will be involved in collecting, analyzing, synthesizing, structuring, storing, or retrieving information... By 1995, 80 percent of all management will be knowledge workers.
Davies, Owen

41.
Successful Project Management: PLAN, EXECUTE, EVALUATE Sounds simple, but most projects aren't well planned nor are they evaluated well. The tendency is to jump right into execution and as soon as execution is completed (which usually isn't soon), move on to the next project without evaluating what happen on the present project and what could have been improved. Successful project management requires more front and back end resources (and less middle) than are usually allocated.

42.
A good manager doesn't try to eliminate conflict; he tries to keep it from wasting the energies of his people. If you're the boss and your people fight you openly when they think that you are wrong -- that's healthy.
Townsend, Robert

43.
Surround yourself with the best people you can find, delegate authority, and don't interfere.
Reagan, Ronald

44.
Those that despise people will never get the best out of others and themselves.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

45.
Good managers have a bias for action.
Peters, Thomas J.

46.
The manager with the in basket problem does not yet understand that he must discipline himself to take care of activities that fail to excite him.
Elfrey, Pricilla

47.
The only time some people work like a horse is when the boss rides them.
Heatter, Gabriel

48.
The Trojans lost the war because they fell for a really dumb trick. hey, there's a gigantic wooden horse outside and all the Greeks have left. Let's bring it inside! Not a formula for long-term survival. Now if they had formed a task force to study the Trojan Horse and report back to a committee, everyone wouldn't have been massacred.. Who says middle management is useless?
Engst, Adam C.

49.
If sufficient number of management layers are superimposed on top of each other, it can be assured that disaster is not left to chance.
Augustine, Norman

50.
The first myth of management is that it exists. The second myth of management is that success equals skill.
Heller, Robert
