It is said that a wise man who stands firm is a statesman, and a foolish man who stands firm is a catastrophe.

Free discussion requires an atmosphere unembarrassed by any suggestion of authority or even respect. If a subordinate always agrees with his superior he is a useless part of the organization.

Responsibility is a unique concept … You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it
is still with you … If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible.
