"11. (a)Eliminate work standards (quotas) on the factory floor. 
 Substitute leadership.  (B)Eliminate management by numbers,
 numerical goals.  Substitute leadership.
 
For Educators:
 
*If a school system accomplishes its purpose, it will have 
graduates successfully applying what they have learned to their 
personal, family, social, and professional lives.  Graduates will
also have learned how to continue learning.
*Any other measures of success--test scores, GPAs, merit 
scholars, sports victories--are surrogates that we hope will
indicate whether or not education is taking or has taken place. 
When we focus on these indicators, we risk displacing the 
purpose of schools from education to grade making.  These
surrogates become an end in themselves.  Looking good 
replaces doing well." Pg 2-6
