I've actually not read any books on time management. ~ Elon Musk
Management Books quotes by Elon Musk
That's not to say that all software project management books are crap. Just most of them. One of the few that I've found compelling enough to finish is Johanna Rothman's "Behind Closed Doors: Secrets of Great Management." She co-wrote it with Esther Derby. ~ Jeff Atwood
Management Books quotes by Jeff Atwood
The Delusion of Lasting Success promises that building an enduring company is not only achievable but a worthwhile objective. Yet companies that have outperformed the market for long periods of time are not just rare, they are statistical artifacts that are observable only in retrospect. Companies that achieved lasting success may be best understood as having strung together many short-term successes. Pursuing a dream of enduring greatness may divert attention from the pressing need to win immediate battles.

The Delusion of Absolute Performance diverts our attention from the fact that success and failure always take place in a competitive environment. It may be comforting to believe that our success is entirely up to us, but as the example of Kmart demonstrated, a company can improve in absolute terms and still fall further behind in relative terms. Success in business means doing things better than rivals, not just doing things well. Believing that performance is absolute can cause us to take our eye off rivals and to avoid decisions that, while risky, may be essential for survival given the particular context of our industry and its competitive dynamics.

The Delusion of the Wrong End of the Stick lets us confuse causes and effects, actions and outcomes. We may look at a handful of extraordinarily successful companies and imagine that doing what they did can lead to success - when it might in fact lead mainly to higher volatility and a lower over ~ Philip M. Rosenzweig
Management Books quotes by Philip M. Rosenzweig
Basically, I'm a perpetual student. I start by finding a subject I really don't know very much, but that I'm curious about. I learn about it through books in a library, by doing interviews with people who know a lot about the subject, and by going out on my own and seeing for myself what's happening. ~ Eric Schlosser
Management Books quotes by Eric Schlosser
What benefits new books bring us! I would like a basket full of books telling the youth of images which fall from heaven for me every day. This desire is natural. This prodigy is easy. For, up there, in heaven, isn't paradise an immense library?

But it is not sufficient to receive; one must welcome. One must, say the pedagogue and the dietician in the same voice, 'assimilate.' In order to do that, we are advised not to read too fast and to be careful not to swallow too large a bite. We are told to divide each difficulty into as many parts as possible, the better to solve them. Yes, chew well, drink a little at a time, savor poems line by line. All these precepts are well and good. But one precept orders them. One first needs a good desire to eat, drink and read. One must want to read a lot, read more, always read.

Thus, in the morning, before the books piled high on my table, to the god of reading, I say my prayer of the devouring reader: 'Give us this day our daily hunger . . .'" - Gaston Bachelard, "Introduction", The Poetics of Reverie: Childhood, Language, and the Cosmos, Pages 25-26 ~ Gaston Bachelard
Management Books quotes by Gaston Bachelard
that goes well, we will follow with discussions of Raving Fans, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Gung Ho!; and The Road Less Traveled. All of these books can help us understand ~ Harry Paul
Management Books quotes by Harry Paul
Not long ago I made a list of Doc Ford books I would like to do, and I came up with 11 pretty easily. I like to let the characters go their own ways and see what happens. I find them fascinating. ~ Randy Wayne White
Management Books quotes by Randy Wayne White
OCEANA: Are we here to take a tour of the museum? Is this your surprise?
ORPHEUS: This is my house.
OCEANA: (gasps) You gotta be kidding me.
ORPHEUS: (now glaring at her) No I'm not. ~ Scarlett Brukett
Management Books quotes by Scarlett Brukett
If you don't have enough time to accomplish something, consider the work finished once it's begun. ~ John Cage
Management Books quotes by John Cage
Whatever you read, read the Bible first. Beware of bad books: there are plenty in this day. Take heed what you read. ~ J.C. Ryle
Management Books quotes by J.C. Ryle
I'm a severe graphic novels junkie. People ask me about it, and I say I like the graphic novels. Comic books are for kids, and graphic novels are for adults. But you can't really separate the two. ~ Dave Pirner
Management Books quotes by Dave Pirner
Of all my Russian books, the defense contains and diffuses the greatest 'warmth' which may seem odd seeing how supremely abstract Chess is supposed to be ~ Vladimir Nabokov
Management Books quotes by Vladimir Nabokov
Okay, so it's like each of these books is a mystery. Every book is a mystery. And if you read all of the books ever written, it's like you've read one giant mystery. And no matter how much you learn, you keep on learning so much more you need to learn. ~ Sherman Alexie
Management Books quotes by Sherman Alexie
I've been called many things in my time, but never a conduit of divinity- Cedric MacKinnon, My Fearful Symmetry ~ Denise Verrico
Management Books quotes by Denise Verrico
Books can now be on the stands within days from delivery of a formatted manuscript, and often are. ~ Bruce Jackson
Management Books quotes by Bruce Jackson
I teach myself archaeology, I teach myself Spanish, and that's because it can be fun, it can be useful. So I keep studying. I read books because I still want to study. I don't want to stop. ~ Philippe Falardeau
Management Books quotes by Philippe Falardeau
I hold a theory that, sooner or later, if a man but live long enough, certain books destined for his peculiar delight will find him, however obscure they or he may be. ~ Vincent Starrett
Management Books quotes by Vincent Starrett
I have SO many books I didn't sell. Some my agent rejected outright, others made it all the way to my editor to be turned away. Not everything is a winner, which is tough when you've devoted eight or nine months of your life to something. ~ Sarah Dessen
Management Books quotes by Sarah Dessen
Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled. ~ Barbara Tuchman
Management Books quotes by Barbara Tuchman
The Church is enamored with skilled orators and performers working the stage like a choreographed Broadway play. Others profess to talk about how Jesus ministry was mere story telling like through parables and that is why it was so effective. It is though there is some magical incantation, if we just repeat then things will happen. It is like the current modernity movement in the church, dumb it down that is the problem. If we just take away the mystery and otherness of God then we will know and see God, really? ~ Jonah Books.com
Management Books quotes by Jonah Books.com
Most people were startled to find out there were books that preceded Game Of Thrones. I'm a case of working forty years to be an overnight success. ~ George R R Martin
Management Books quotes by George R R Martin
The library at home when she was child had been her refuge. She gravitated to it. When she was anxious, just taking a book of a shelf calmed her. Opening the cover, feeling the paper's smoothness, smelling the sheets, the leather, even sometimes the ink, centered her. ~ M.J. Rose
Management Books quotes by M.J. Rose
The expression Jake saw on all the faces, oldest to youngest, was the same: pure joy. Not just that, he thought, and remembered a phrase his English teacher had used about how some books make us feel: the ecstasy of perfect recognition. ~ Stephen King
Management Books quotes by Stephen King
I learn more from books than from people ~ William Sleator
Management Books quotes by William Sleator
Master was a little crazy; he had spent too many years reading books overseas, talked to himself in his office, did not always return greetings, and had too much hair. ~ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Management Books quotes by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
I read a lot of science books - I love cosmology, quantum theory, particle physics. So my idea of a great read would probably put you directly into a coma. ~ Augusten Burroughs
Management Books quotes by Augusten Burroughs
Words are just words; a book never harmed anyone by itself. ~ Rob May
Management Books quotes by Rob May
I've got lots of books sitting here that have never been published because nobody could make any marketing sense of them. ~ Whitley Strieber
Management Books quotes by Whitley Strieber
You're going to turn the next page, because you still have hope. You hope there's a little something more, and it's nothing personal. People do it at the end of every book. I think that's why publishers put in all those extra pages. So you have a chance to shuffle and flip through them while it sinks in. It's over. The trip is done.

You know it's over, but you're going to turn the page anyway. ~ Rory Harrison
Management Books quotes by Rory Harrison
Anyone can tell you that how you're raised as a child has a great deal to do with how you behave as an adult and whether you have complexes or whether you need to prove yourself or all that kind of stuff and yet the mother in a traditional family who has raised a child never makes it in the history books. ~ Rita Dove
Management Books quotes by Rita Dove
As a historian, I love every little detail, but whole long passages about wood paneling and journeys on horseback and every stop at every inn had to go out the window. I decided the history in the books should be like spice in a soup - a little went a long way. Like cilantro. ~ Deborah Harkness
Management Books quotes by Deborah Harkness
I've written a lot of books which are written from the moon - the view from nowhere. ~ Clifford Geertz
Management Books quotes by Clifford Geertz
When I'm not acting, I try to be normal, play golf, play hockey. It's funny because you're in this little bubble when you're working - you don't read books, you don't really keep up with the news, you're just living that life. ~ Taylor Kitsch
Management Books quotes by Taylor Kitsch
Employees who are controlled cannot respond caringly, you need superior knowledge and real leadership, not management. Because of this we specifically developed a selection process for leaders; we don't hire managers. ~ Horst Schulze
Management Books quotes by Horst Schulze
It matters not the subject taught, nor all the books on all the shelves, What matters most, yes most of all, is what the teachers are themselves. ~ John Wooden
Management Books quotes by John Wooden
Languor is underrated. It is not possible to be immobile in modern society except by dint of constant effort. Holding on tightly to the riverbank and fighting the current is not languor. Nobody likes that. But bone-lazy idleness hours and hours spent staring at the sky and remembering books and birthdays and great kisses: this is a pure pleasure that eludes the productive in all their confident superiority. Languor s sunny and hot. It is at home near the sea and is best appreciated in environments of beauty and limited promise. It contains within it the idea of boredom but is also colored by idle fancy and the understanding that some things proceed best with limited attention. ~ Kevin Patterson
Management Books quotes by Kevin Patterson
Two things I do well in books are sex and violence, but I don't want gratuitous sex or violence. The sex and violence are only as graphic as need be. And never included unless it furthers the plot or character development. ~ Laurell K. Hamilton
Management Books quotes by Laurell K. Hamilton
I don't think I'm an exceptionally bad reader. I suspect that many people, maybe even most, are like me. We read and read and read,
and we forget and forget and forget. So why do we bother? Michel de Montaigne expressed the dilemma of extensive reading in the
sixteenth century: "I leaf through books, I do not study them," he wrote. "What I retain of them is something I no longer recognize as anyone else's.
It is only the material from which my judgment has profited, and the thoughts and ideas with which it has become imbued;
the author, the place, the words, and other circumstances, I immediately forget." He goes on to explain how "to compensate a
little for the treachery and weakness of my memory," he adopted the habit of writing in the back of every book a short critical
judgment, so as to have at least some general idea of what the tome was about and what he thought of it. ~ Joshua Foer
Management Books quotes by Joshua Foer
Just like heaven. Ever'body wants a little piece of lan'. I read plenty of books out here. Nobody never gets to heaven, and nobody gets no land. It's just in their head. They're all the time talkin' about it, but it's jus' in their head. ~ John Steinbeck
Management Books quotes by John Steinbeck
Of all the unexpected things in contemporary literature, this is among the oddest: that kids have an inordinate appetite for very long, very tricky, very strange books about places that don't exist. ~ Adam Gopnik
Management Books quotes by Adam Gopnik
Wasted time means wasted lives. ~ Robert R. Shannon
Management Books quotes by Robert R. Shannon
President John F. Kennedy's Cigars
On February 7, 1962, President Kennedy announced to his staff that he needed some help finding as many of the prestigious Cuban Petit Upmann cigars as possible. He let it be known that he would like to have 1,000 of these cigars by the next morning. Being the President of the United States, his wish was granted when, on the morning of February 8th, his Press Secretary Pierre Salinger came in and deposited 1,200 cigars on Kennedy's desk. Smiling, Kennedy opened his desk, took out a document and signed it, banning importation of all Cuban-made products into the United States. Some years later when asked about that moment, Salinger said that there were actually 1,201 cigars. ~ Hank Bracker
Management Books quotes by Hank Bracker
The woods that I loved as a child are entirely gone. The woods that I loved as a young adult are gone. The woods that most recently I walked in are not gone, but they're full of bicycle trails. And this is happening to the world, and I think it is very very dangerous for our future generations, those of us who believe that the world is not only necessary to us in its pristine state, but it is in itself an act of some kind of spiritual thing. I said once, and I think this is true, the world did not have to be beautiful to work. But it is. What does that mean?
[from 'A Thousand Mornings' With Poet Mary Oliver for NPR Books] ~ Mary Oliver
Management Books quotes by Mary Oliver
Oh yes, I admire books. I still do. They can preserve a truth for twice a thousand years and teach it to any who has the skill and cares to read it. They can also fix a lie in stone forever. But worse still, they - the books - can be about nothing at all. Nothing real. ~ Alice Borchardt
Management Books quotes by Alice Borchardt
I'm aware of 'Twilight,' but I've never seen the movies or read any of the books. Frankly, the story leaves me cold - why do a vampire story about abstinence? ~ Alan Ball
Management Books quotes by Alan Ball
Only bad books have good endings.
If a book is any good, it's ending is always bad - because you don't want the book to end. ~ Pseudonymous Bosch
Management Books quotes by Pseudonymous Bosch
It would be good for religion if many books that seem useful were destroyed. When there were not so many books and not so many arguments and disputes, religion grew more quickly than it has since. ~ Girolamo Savonarola
Management Books quotes by Girolamo Savonarola
Words are the writer's sorcery, our dark arts and our sleight of hand. They're our enchantment and our temptation ~ Karl Wiggins
Management Books quotes by Karl Wiggins
Alyelu didn't want to injure him, but he wouldn't release him, either. That feeling was one he couldn't admit, but the truth sat there before him. Mocking him. ~ Aaron-Michael Hall
Management Books quotes by Aaron-Michael Hall
I like to write books and cause trouble. ~ Heather Brooke
Management Books quotes by Heather Brooke
For new media reactionaries ... the problem is technology, the endless distractions of the Internet, the breakdown of authority in an age of blogs and Twitter, the collapse of narrative in a hyper-linked, multi-networked world. ~ David L. Ulin
Management Books quotes by David L. Ulin
Science is a victim of its own reductive metaphors: 'Big Bang,' 'selfish gene' and so on. Richard Dawkins' selfish gene fitted with the Thatcherite politics of the time. It should actually be the 'altruistic gene,' but he'd never have sold as many books with a title like that. ~ Charles Jencks
Management Books quotes by Charles Jencks
