A batch of the best highlights from what Jophin's read, .
The man who focuses on efforts and who stresses his downward authority is a subordinate no matter how exalted his title and rank. But __the man who focuses on contribution and who takes responsibility for results, no matter how junior, is in the most literal sense of the phrase, “top management.”__ He holds himself accountable for the performance of the whole.
The Effective Executive
Peter F. Drucker
The opposite of reality or the correct perception of reality is in any case not the imagination but illusion; however, even illusions can have effects. __The realist must take powerful illusions seriously as factors in the world that have whatever motivational power they in fact have for the population in question, that is, as something to be understood.__ This is compatible with seeing through them, and refusing steadfastly to make them part of the cognitive apparatus one employs oneself to try to make sense of the world.
Philosophy and Real Politics
Raymond Geuss
Expanding the
sites and constituencies in which we think with care contributes new modes
of attention and problematics. So rather than give up on care because it
is enlisted in purposes we might deplore, we need to have its meanings
debated, unpacked, and reenacted in an implicated way that responds to
this present.
Matters of Care
