Two people from the CIA gave a talk during last Enteprise 2.0 conference. They cited a 1944 manual which was about sabotage a business from the inside :
(1) Insist on doing everything through “channels.” Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.

Sometimes I find sentences which are really worth by themselves, that have a lot of meaning, whether in or out of their original context. I often bookmark them but this time I think they’re worth a post. As a matter of fact I find two series of nice quotations in two posts I recently read [...]
