    When you hire people that are smarter than you are, you prove you are
    smarter than they are.
    ~ R. H. Grant ~

    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.
    ~ H.S.M. Burns ~

    Hire the best. Pay them fairly. Communicate frequently. Provide challenges
    and rewards. Believe in them. Get out of their way and they'll knock your
    socks off.
    ~ Mary Ann Allison ~

    Motivate them, train them, care about them and make winners out of them...we
    know that if we treat our employees correctly, they'll treat the customers
    right. And if customers are treated right, they'll come back.
    ~ J. Marriot Jr. ~

    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.
    ~ William Hewlitt ~

    I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is
    gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me
    from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal
    and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can
    become a leader among men.
    ~ Lao-Tzu ~

    The wicked leader is he who the people despise. The good leader is he who
    the people revere. The great leader is he who the people say, We did it
    ourselves.
    ~ Lao-Tzu ~

    Have you enjoyed it & Have a nice Week End!!!

    Thank you to Anwar Hasim <spa711@CENTRIN.NET.ID> for your recent posting of
    various quotations on the management of people vs. capital. Great spirit in
    them. Are they from a personal collection? a book? are there more where
    those came from?!

    If you missed them, here's a couple ...

    Please advise. These are simple sayings, but they can change the way one
    approaches the next day, the next meeting, the next hiring. Thanks again.
