"Organization doesn't really accomplish anything. Plans don't accomplish……" — Colin Powell
"Organization doesn't really accomplish anything. Plans don't accomplish anything, either. Theories of management don't much matter. Endeavors succeed or fail because of the people involved. Only by attracting the best people will you accomplish great deeds."
