"It is much more difficult to measure nonperformance than performance." ― Harold S. Geneen Topic(s): Wisdom More From Harold S. Geneen "Management must manage!" "The best way to inspire people to superior performance is to convince them by everything you do and by your everyday attitude that you are wholeheartedly supporting them." "In business, words are words; explanations are explanations, promises are promises, but only performance is reality." More In Wisdom "I am thinking of taking a fifth wife. Why not? Solomon had a thousand wives and he is a synonym for wisdom."― John Barrymore "Animals, in their generation, are wiser than the sons of men; but their wisdom is confined to a few particulars, and lies in a very narrow compass."― Joseph Addison "He whose wisdom cannot help him, gets no good from being wise."― Quintus Ennius
