Everyone is smarter than me
I love Spolsky’s blog. He has also written articles for Inc, such as the one on competition and strategy called Fire and Motion. In the article there is a great quote about how management for his company is not about employees quickly obeying directives.
The biggest problem is getting people to tell me when I’m wrong and to do things their way, because they’re all smarter than I am.

Sakichi Toyoda and the Five Whys
Sakichi Toyoda, the founder of Toyota Motor Company, is considered one of the greatest if not the greatest inventor of Japan and the father of Japanese Industrialization. His impact on the world should not be underestimated. As with most historical figures, our tasks are different because we live in a different world. However we can learn from the thinking of this great man.

The Five Most Important Questions – Peter Drucker
Peter Drucker is by far the most important management thinker of the 20th century. Even in 2010, his thinking and guidance is highly effective and has lost little of its lustre and value.

Drucker formulated five “Most Important” questions to ask an organization. Each of them have subquestions which result. It is the answering of the questions together as a team which builds not only consensus but a shared understanding of what needs to be done.

The Art of Asking
Time and Value
I have recently received a few unsolicited email requests from people whom I don’t know. Now, I am actually happy to help other people, but I have to weigh this desire to be helpful with the actual value it will create in the universe as a whole, not simply to unknown individuals requesting something. Time is inelastic and I have a limited amount. The older I become the more I desire to help others and the more picky I become in providing my time.
