Personnel development

The Prussian general, Freiherr von Hammerstein-Equord, divided his associates into a total of four groups according to whether they were lazy, hard-working, clever or stupid. The first group contained the stupid and hard-working, and he maintained that these should be got rid of immediately because they wasted the company resources. The second group were the stupid and lazy, and, he claimed, were basically worthless and should be got rid of immediately after the first group. He wanted the third group, the clever and hard-working, to form the core of every company. The fourth group, the clever and lazy, were to form its management, because they refused to deal with things in detail and this implied that they could see problems in a wider context.
