“The economic problem of (an organization) is rapid adaptation to
changes in its particular circumstances. Then, the ultimate decisions
must be left to the people who are familiar with these
circumstances, who know directly of the relevant changes and of
the resources available to meet them. This problem cannot be
solved by first communicating all this knowledge to a central board
which then issues its orders. But the "man on the spot" cannot
decide solely on the basis of his limited but
intimate knowledge of his immediate
surroundings. There still remains the
problem of communicating to him
such further information as he needs
to fit his decisions into the whole
pattern of changes of the
larger (organizational) system.”

  • #3 If you don’t know where you are going, then any direction is the same. You need a destination in order to start the journey. And the destination for human beings is a place where we believe we will be better off, happier and more fulfilled than we are today.
