Wise Quotes from a Wise Professor

Lil_blue_tiger and I had the same professor for one of my classes. The professor said many wise words of which some are reminders. They're just as important as the ones I did not realize. Here are some quotes from the prof:

  • "business = communicate & collaborate with others"
  • "what people say is not what they want"
    "what they want is not what they need"

  • "as a manager, fix systems, not people" (e.g. if many errors are tracked for data input into a system, perhaps employees need more training/system is not user friendly enough) It is an easy solution to fire/blame people

  • "way to get money is to work hard"

  • "nothing happens in business without being recorded somewhere"

  • "which best meet customer needs at lowest price?"
In case you're wondering, this is for a Commerce course, but some quotes apply to life as well. :)

Cheers,
