Military Planner's Rule of Management

Adapted from "Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook" by Scott Adams

1. The Boss is always right, even when he is stupid.
2. The physical laws of time and space were meant to be broken.
3. The problem is not a lack of resources, it's a lack of meetings.
4. When in doubt, ask for status reports.
5. If the Boss is talking, then he's communicating.
6. Low morale is caused by character flaws in the planners.
7. If ten people can complete a plan in ten days, then one person can complete the plan in one day.
8. Teamwork is when other people do your work for you.
9. Sickness in a planner is a manifestation of laziness.
10. Abuse is a form of recognition. And recognition is what every planner wants.
