There comes a point in any organization where too much supervision means that supervisors spend too much time writing memorandums to one another, making needless telephone calls to one another, and the like, with no more productive work being accomplished in the aggregate, and possibly even less. We must strike the correct balance between too much supervision, and too little supervision.
More Quotes from Gustav Metzman:
Most business men generally are so busy coping with immediate and piecemeal matters that there is a lamentable tendency to let the 'long run' or future take care of itself. We often are so busy 'putting out fires,' so to speak, that we find it difficult to do the planning that would prevent those fires from occurring in the first place. As a prominent educator has expressed it, Americans generally 'spend so much time on things that are urgent that we have none left to spend on those that are important.'Gustav Metzman
There is an easier, better and quicker way to do most everything, and now as never before, we must seek those easier, better, quicker ways and methods.
