A note about smart and lazy unexpectedly gained a lot of comments. In this regard, I will continue. What was Manstein talking about?
Of course, there is a sound grain in the words of those who say that "the elevator came up with a lazy one." You can understand the opponents: if a person just sits on the couch, then things will not happen by themselves.
Manstein implied that which was later written by no less numerous (than him, Manstein) army of business gurus, business consultants and citizens like me , clinging to someone else's glory. Have you read Getting Things Done?
So, the essence of Manstein’s words is that:
1. No need to do all-all-all. It is necessary to do what brings the greatest effect. The greatest result per unit of time and effort spent. The rest can be delayed or canceled altogether.
2. No need to do everything yourself. It is necessary to find adequate people and entrust them with this work.
By the way, it is better to entrust the elevator to work on lifting goods.
