“An organization belongs on a sick list when promotion becomes more important to its people than accomplishment of their job they are in.

“I think the more people you add on stage, the more locked it things become. Whereas fewer members on stage gets the audience to notice any small idiosyncrasy or unique moment that one of the three people onstage is having.
