The boss has the best
ideas
Get everything started now so it looks like we’re making
progress
Everything is priority 1
My staff can’t make a
good decision
Leadership only comes from the
top
“The driver” is the only effective
leadership style
It’s better to motivate rather than
inspire
Individual utilization is more important than team effectiveness
It must be right the
first time
Ambiguity must be eliminated
before we start
We can predict and commit to what we’ll build
this year
The truth is
dangerous
My title reflects my
credibility
More due diligence will give me the answer
I want
Bad news is
our enemy
The project is 90% complete
It’s all about me
My staff is focused on my career
advancement
The job of my staff is to deliver work for me
Centralized control is the key to
enterprise scale
Change can only happen
incrementally
The process should guarantee that I will not
fail
Specialization will lead to more productivity
If we predict the future we can be predictable
More precision in my estimates will make them more
accurate
Talent doesn’t matter. The process will
fix it
I can’t trust my staff to manage a
budget
Performance reviews
matter
My staff must be
110% utilized
Increased pressure on my staff will
drive productivity
We can’t do that because it’s not part of the plan
Stick to the plan even though the world has
changed
If I don’t check my blackberry the world will
fall apart
If we let our Talent make decisions they’ll spin
out of control
Radical Transparency will diminish
my power
Loyalty is more important than
competence
Creativity doesn’t
scale
There is no room for
failure
There’s no need in business to focus on
humanity
got more?
Think about it.
