22. Minimal Group Paradigm:
Group people by a trivial category, e.g. favorite ice cream flavor, and the groups will become tribal, form rivalries, and discriminate against each other. In the absence of other politics people will wage culture wars over preferred choice of dessert.

It can be said, without too much oversimplification, that there are no “underdeveloped countries.” There are only “undermanaged” ones. Japan a hundred and forty years ago was an underdeveloped country by every material measurement. But it very quickly produced management of great competence, indeed, of excellence. This means that management is the prime mover and that development is a consequence. All our experience in economic development proves this. Wherever we have only capital, we have not achieved development. In the few cases where we have been able to generate management energies, we have generated rapid development. Development, in other words, is a matter of human energies rather than of economic wealth. And the generation and direction of human energies is the task of management.
