Management, in itself, is not a pure science like mathematics, physics or chemistry, but we have come to regard it as a sui generis blend of art and science.

Every executive in your organization who is responsible for basic resources (human talent, time and money) is a manager and must be a leader. He or she must have a thorough knowledge of management; if not, you have a serious problem on your hands.

Management must swap an antiquated and subjective case-by-case approach for a discipline based on the application of techniques instituted, developed and tested to manage an organization’s basic resources.
