"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 upon by the organization.
I would ask him to provide a service of an ill-defined nature, apply a body of knowledge having few absolutes, and staff his organization with only volunteers.
I would expect him to work ten to twelve hours per day and have his work evaluated by a committee of 300 to 500 amateurs.
I would call him a minister and make him accountable to God."
