Famous quotes containing the words management and/or career:
“The management of fertility is one of the most important functions of adulthood.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
