Editor's Notes

  • #4: Let me hear your opinions - In addition to this shall PM be expert in the industry or product? By the way, I’ve invented abbreviation that haven’t been used before, while working on preparing this presentation... PM = Perfect Manager...
  • #5: The fundamental mistake lies in the way management theory is researched. The best characteristics of many different people are choosen to create a model. But such a model does not exist. So the most dangerous PM is a fresh MBA graduate who sincerely believes that he/she is the one, the universal soldier, the Chuck Norris. A preacher once said: «There is no such thing as a perfect man. I can prove it to you. Anyone who has ever known a perfect man, please stand up...» Nobody stood up. A preacher continued: «Anyone who has ever known a perfect woman, please stand up...» One elderly woman stood up. «Did you really knew an absolutely perfect woman???» a preacher asked amazed. «Not me, but my husband did. He was telling me a lot about her. His ex-wife.» CONCLUSION: If someone has achieved perfection, he must be dead.
  • #6: In reality the universal soldier does not exist. Humans are not ideal.
  • #14: A style is an integrated way of thinking, perceiving, acting... and (of course) communicating.
