Administration
A22 The secret of execs who 'do so many things' and apparently so many difficult things, is that they do only one at a time. The people who get nothing done often work a great deal harder. 1st, they underestimate the time for any one task. As every exec knows, the unexpected always happens and it's rarely pleasant. Effective execs allow a margin of time. 2nd, the typical exec tries to hurry - and that only puts him further behind. Effective executives do not race. They set an easy, steady pace.
Finally, the typical exec tries to do several things at once. Therefore, he never has the minimum time quantum for any of the tasks in him program. If any one of them runs into trouble, his entire program collapses.
