"If I wanted to drive a manager up the wall, I would make him responsible for the success of an organization and give him no authority. I would provide him with unclear goals not commonly agreed on within the organization. I would ask him to provide a service of an ill-defined nature, applying a body of knowledge having few absolutes, and give him only volunteers for assistance. I would expect him to work ten to twelve hours per day and have his work evaluated by a committee of 500 people.
