Management And Leadership Quotes

“Every posting, message, or email creates an impression, a public persona, from which other people make judgments. We make judgments about others, but how often do we turn that critical analysis on ourselves?”

“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law...Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?” Most Americans adults have heard the Miranda rights from countless television and movie crime drams. The first statement of the Miranda rights is a simple but powerful declarative sentence. “You have the right to remain silent.” Not speaking will not be held against you, but the suspect is told that any words spoken “can and will be used against you in a court of law.” U.S. law provides the opportunity for reflection and protection against self-incrimination with the last sentence asking, “Do you wish to speak to me?” Reflect and ask yourself, it is wise to post or send an email containing that information?”

“An organization's proprietary, internal information is constrained only by an understanding that stake-holders will keep organizational matters within the organization.”

“The written word imparts a gravitas the spoken word lacks. The underlying assumption is that time and thought has been expended on what was written, even if that is not the case.”

“A car crash at seventy-five miles an hour results in glass and steel strewn about the roadway. Emergency workers attend to the injured drivers, passengers and bystanders, and remove the wreckage. An electronic communication wreck lacks the visual drama, but imparts damage just as real and just as permanent. A momentary lapse in judgment may prove catastrophic for the writer, their family, coworkers, and stakeholders.”

“Emails, texts and social media promise the writer the power to be heard…In a society where relinquishing control is viewed as weakness, power is relinquished through every message sent without forethought to the potential consequences.”

“Once a message has been sent electronically, the writer has ceded power not just to the recipient, but to whomever the recipient chooses to forward the information. To access electronic communication is to control it. The recipient, not the writer, has power over future dissemination of the writer’s words.”

“You Work For Your Team, They Don't Work For You.”

“I would say 'Integrity first ! Streamlining individual actions for the greater organizational good'. To restore trust after a stakeholder challenges your decision, acknowledge their concerns and engage in intent listening. Delineate your decision-making process and provide a well-substantiated rationale. Demonstrate a commitment to collaboration and receptivity to constructive criticism. Listen !! for strategic implementation that facilitates progressive results. Serving an organization requires prioritizing the collective good over individual agendas. Finally, fortify the relationship through consistent communication and constructive dialogue to enhance trust.”

“People act in ways to maximize their self-interest within a company, so create incentives that align employee's objectives with the organization's mission statement. Reward compliance with core values as much as profitability, especially in the face of competitive pressures.”

“If you don't know the answer to a question, don't guess, don't speculate, don't hypothesize, don't make a joke it by email, tweet, conference call, or at a press conference...Somehow, eventually, the electronic communication surrounding a situation will be made public and clarify and clarify what actually transpired.”

“In the Darwinian environment of business, one's most provocative words are naturally selected by competitors to be hurled back at them at the most inopportune moments. Do not arm your adversaries.”

“Billions of dollars worth of research knowledge lie dormant at American universities waiting for the right disruptor to come along and create a business.”

“Social media have shaken up the PR industry beyond recognition. In fact, social media have caused the first and only real PR revolution in the industry’s more than 100 years of history.”

“Scientific management, so-called, is an attempt to apply the methods of science to the increasingly complex problems of the control of labor in rapidly growing capitalist enterprises. It lacks the characteristics of a true science because its assumptions reflect nothing more than the outlook of the capitalist with regard to the conditions of production. It starts, despite occasional protestations to the contrary, not from the human point of view but from the capitalist point of view, from the point of view of the management of a refractory work force in a setting of antagonistic social relations. It does not attempt to discover and confront the cause of this condition, but accepts it as an inexorable given, a “natural” condition. It investigates not labor in general, but the adaptation of labor to the needs of capital.”

“good managers execute as well as motivate. Not all leaders need to be managers, but all managers need to be good leaders. While managing is an art; leadership is a skill that needs to be inculcated, imbibed and enforced while executing assignments through subordinates”

“At the heart of Lean management is giving employees the necessary time and resources to improve their own work. This means creating a work environment that supports experimentation, failure, and learning, and allows employees to make decisions that affect their jobs. This also means creating space for employees to do new, creative, value-add work during the work week—and not just expecting them to devote extra time after hours.”

“You can't run at your maximum if you're always pushing your limits. Neither can your team.”

“Los verdaderos líderes motivan a sus subordinados, porque comparten la hazaña, y son soñadores que comparten el sueño. Eso genera equipos que están motivados, que dejan todo su talento, que tienen creatividad y entusiasmo, y eso es lo que permite las grandes cosas. Andre Carnegie, “El secreto de mi éxito fue rodearme de personas mejores que yo”. No me importa en este momento si la frase del industrial norteamericano es sincera, ni si es cierta. Solamente rescatar que él era un líder porque está haciendo esto: compartir la hazaña. Sin embargo, eso no es lo que se ve en los líderes mediocres. Por el contrario el mediocre, cuando hay hazaña, se jacta, se pavonea, y se la atribuye toda a sí mismo. Y, cuando hay anti-hazaña, para evitar su peso, la descarga sobre sus subordinados, les “echa la culpa” de los fracasos, y los humilla. Y, de tantas humillaciones, con el paso de los años, les puede aplastar la autoestima. Martin Ross (El Mapa de la Autoestima)”

“The world says, "Rely on yourself," but You say, "Cast your cares on Me, and I will sustain you" (1 Peter 5:7). I trust in Your care. The world says, "Trust people to solve your problems," but You say, "Some trust in chariots, but we trust in the name of the Lord" (Psalm 20:7). You are my rock and salvation. The world says, "You're not good enough," but You say, "You are fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalm 139:14). I thank You for creating me in Your image. The world says, "Revenge is sweet," but You say, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay" (Romans 12:19). Help me to forgive and let go of grudges. The world says, "You're defined by your mistakes," but You say, "I will remember your sins no more" (Hebrews 8:12). I thank You for Your forgiveness and mercy. The world says, "It's all about you," but You say, "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Mark 12:31). Help me to love others as I love myself. The world says, "Fear is the key to survival," but You say, "Fear not, for I am with you" (Isaiah 41:10). I trust in Your presence and protection. The world says, "Happiness comes from possessions," but You say, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:3). Help me to find true happiness in You.”
