A Quote by Carl Stokes

My style will be management by being on the street, management by walking around. Third persons won't have to tell me what's going on in our city. I'll hear it, I'll see it, I'll touch it myself.

There's increasing consciousness that a "command and control" style of management which one associates with a male model isn't necessarily what works anymore, especially with small to medium sized companies. There's increasing evidence that a more flexible management style, where responsibility is distributed up and down the line, is what works best. And that kind of management style is one that will allow individual workers more flexibility - men and women.

Betty Friedan

When I wear the hat of management, it is important that our management behaves and conducts as management accountable to the board.

Uday Kotak

Management did not emanate from nature. Management is not a tree: it's a television set. Somebody invented it. It doesn't mean it's going to work forever. Management is great. Traditional notions of management are great if you want compliance. But if you want engagement, self-direction works better.

Daniel H. Pink

Time management is really personal management, life management. and management of yourself.

Brian Tracy

Security is always going to be a cat and mouse game because there'll be people out there that are hunting for the zero day award, you have people that don't have configuration management, don't have vulnerability management, don't have patch management.

Talent acquisition, knowledge transfer, generational diversity, and retention will continue to be serious concerns. I think the golden thread is equipping management to work with Millennials. Let's face it. We are going to see organizations needing to replace 40% to 60% of their workforce. Management has never been more important!

Chip Espinoza

We live in a world where the laws are getting so tight that management has changed to micro-management to quantum-management to paralysis.

Jane Siberry

Most books on management are written by management consultants, and they study successful companies after they've succeeded, so they only hear winning stories.

Ben Horowitz

Any executive, any CEO should not have 1 management style. Your management style needs to be dictated by your employee.

Management by Walking Around

David Packard

It's natural that you'd have more brains going into money management. There are so many huge incomes in money management and investment banking - it's like ants to sugar. There are huge incentives for a man to take up money management as opposed to, say, physics, and it's a lot easier.

Charlie Munger

The essence of investment management is the management of risks, not the management of returns.

Benjamin Graham

Good money management alone isn't going to increase your edge at all. If your system isn't any good, you're still going to lose money, no matter how effective your money management rules are. But if you have an approach that makes money, then money management can make the difference between success and failure.

Monroe Trout

Projects are usually undertaken to either solve a problem or take advantage of an opportunity. The probability that the project - even if precisely executed - will complete on time, on budget, and on performance is typically small. Project management is utilized to increase this probability. So in a sense, project management is risk management.
