Teamwork is essential, it allows you to blame someone else. A good scapegoat is nearly as welcome as a solution to the problem. The planner who can smile when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on. A Planner with a smile, is a Planner who knows who to blame when things go wrong. No one is listening until you make a mistake.
Success occurs when no one is looking, failure occurs when the boss is watching.
