More Force theology

A good kind of manager recognises potential savings in the future as well as potential savings now. The bad kind of manager recognises only savings related to cost-cutting right now. Temporary expenditure for massive savings later will never get past a manager like that, no matter how many orders of magnitude of savings we are talking about.

It's another Light Side/Dark Side difference. A good manager is focused on the long term greater good. A bad manager tends to see decisions in terms of what it will mean immediately.

PS - I've only known a few managers in my time.
PPS - It seems the Dark Side kind are more common.
