Johnson, who had a tremendous reputa
ton, as an executive; even his worst
enemy. as the saving is, would not deny
his wonderful executive ability. | went
to him in sort of despair, and he
laughed and whispered:
Its the simplest thing in the world;
decide every question quickly and be
right half the time. And get somebody
who can do the work. That's all there
is to executive ability
II looked at him in amazement. He
had grown quite serious.
There's another thing he added.
"'Don't spend too much time in your
Office. A quarter Of an hour each day
is generally too long, unless there are a
whole lot of letters. OF course. he went
on reflectively You can get clerks who
can sign your name better than you can.
