‘It is not enough to do our


best. Sometimes we have to


do what is required.’


Churchill


‘Management, above everything else, is about people.


It is about the accomplishment of ends and aims by


the efforts of groups of people working together. The


people and their individual hopes and skills are the


greatest variable and the most important one.’


Sir John Harvey-Jones


‘You get more of the behaviour you reward. You don’t get


what you hope for, ask for, wish for, or


beg for. You get what you reward.’


Michel le Boeuf
