Definitions and quotes

Management
Management (or managing) is the administration of an organization, whether it is a business, a not-for-profit organization, or government body. Management includes the activities of setting the strategy of an organization and coordinating the efforts of its employees (or of volunteers) to accomplish its objectives through the application of available resources, such as financial, natural, technological, and human resources. The term "management" may also refer to those people who manage an organization.
Quality
The quality of a man's mind can generally be judged by the size of his wastepaper basket.
José Bergamín, La cabeza a pájaros (Head in the Clouds), p. 98, Madrid, Cruz y Raya (1934).
Quality
Things that have a common quality ever quickly seek their kind.
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, ix. 9.
Management
You manage things, you lead people. We went overboard on management and forgot about leadership. It might help if we ran the MBAs out of Washington.
Grace Hopper (1987), quoted in "The Wit and Wisdom of Grace Hopper" by Philip Schieber, OCLC Newsletter, No. 167 (March/April 1987)
