"If Moses had been a committee the Israelites would still be in Egypt." (Apparently the original quote by Wiliiam Booth was: "If Moses had operated through committees the Israelites never would have got across the Red Sea." I like the shorter version.) "I divide my officers into four groups. There are clever, diligent, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and diligent -- their place is the General Staff. The next lot are stupid and lazy -- they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the intellectual clarity and the composure necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is stupid and diligent -- he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always cause only mischief." Kurt Von Hammerstein-Equord (Short version - beware enthusiastic incompetents.) |
