The Little Book of Big Management Wisdom

INTRODUCTION

This book isn’t about theories or models; it’s about practical management insights from people who know what they are talking about. Yes, theories and models are important. They can open a manager’s mind to a wide range of new ideas and ways of thinking. However, long before they became popular, there were aphorisms, sayings and quotations that well-known managers such as Henry Ford and politicians like Lincoln had made famous. Such quotations captured fundamental truths about business and management. Later, managers, leaders and commentators added to this rich treasure of succinct nuggets of management wisdom. This book explores 90 such pearls of wisdom and how to apply in practice the insights they contain.
