About this title

From Library Journal:

The title of this work is misleading. It is a book of quotations, compiled by New York Times columnist Safire with the help of anthologist Safir, organized under terms from A to Z that may have something to do with management. It begins with "action" and ends with "zero-sum game," and in between one can find "boldness," "dress," "interdependence," "stress," and many others. Under "stress," the only two quotes are: "One of my lawyers once told me to read the sports section first every morning. It talks more about mankind's successes, while other parts talk about mankind's problems or failures" (Michael Milken); and "Remember, you can't make a race horse out of a turtle" (Hans Selye). This is not the first place to go for quotations. Bartlett's or Laurence J. Peter's Peter's Quotations (LJ 9/15/77) would meet most needs. Recommended only for comprehensive business collections.
