I just read Managed by Morons: The Path to a Thriving Organization… reminds me of how important a management system is, and whether most really understand what it is…

“The most significant driver [of performance] is the system that underpins an organization.”

“The source of many cultural problems in organizations is the management system used to strengthen individual’s performance.”

“…let’s work the problem…”
