There may be thousands of books dealing with various questions on successful management in a serious way. That ist very important, of course. Although I am convinced that a good many things even in this field could be taught much easier by humorous learning.

Each general manager who was put in the position of a "creative soldier" by his partners is actually an "executive zombie".

He, who is not participating, just participates poorly.

A managing director, who is only a bookkeeper, is not a manager in any case.

If you want to improve something you should correct the course which led to an unsatisfactory result - but you should not "recycle" the result.

An objective is always something you can reach - everything else is fiction at best.

Before staking on profit viability should be guaranteed.

You must be able to recognize the main connections in order to do all the little things properly.

Each proramme is as good as the will of the chairman.

It is easiest to replace one chaos with another.
