Management
Theory
“Help their teams be successful, the
‘bearers of water and removers of
boulders’, who have the backbone to
resist unreasonable demands, who
clearly explain the impact of
management decisions, who can
motivate the team to meet a crisis
deadline ONLY when it is really a
crisis and who otherwise understand
the importance of sustainable pace.
They fight the petty fights and
protect their teams from the
dysfunction around them.”
~ Shane Hastie

 Robert Greenleaf (1904-1990)
 “The servant-leader is servant first… It begins
with the natural feeling that one wants to serve,
to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one
to aspire to lead.”
