The map is not the territory... Count Korzibsky comes to mind here.
Although that one illustrates why "when you fail, try and try again..." if
you don't have the right map, trying harder is not going to help you one
iota.
Earl Nightingale, Dennis Waitley, Swim With the Sharks, Dogbert's rules of
management, etc. etc. it's a whole industry. It's entertaining, though.

"Work smarter not harder"....is that anything like, "Know the
difference between doing things right and doing the right thing"?

PHB comes from Dilbert: Pointy Haired Boss. Those managers who
wander
around in a clueless state of perceived self-importance offering
wonderful platitudes like "Work smarter not harder" and such.
Generally
they wind up being the chickens discussed in a related response.

Re: RE: Taking your time when a crisis occurs:
Yes, Rodd, you are right. There are times when being blunt is
warranted.
I do it now - I couldn't a few months ago. At my last employer I
was
very very good at it and my boss let us do our jobs without
interference.
However, the real question is, what's PHB?
:P
