My personal fave is 'Do more with less.' So I went to Les and said, Hey, I'm supposed to do more with you.....He was not amused...

"Work smarter not harder"....is that anything like, "Know the difference between doing things right and doing the right thing"?

PHB comes from Dilbert: Pointy Haired Boss. Those managers who wander
around in a clueless state of perceived self-importance offering
wonderful platitudes like "Work smarter not harder" and such. Generally
they wind up being the chickens discussed in a related response.

Re: RE: Taking your time when a crisis occurs:
Yes, Rodd, you are right. There are times when being blunt is warranted.
I do it now - I couldn't a few months ago. At my last employer I was
very very good at it and my boss let us do our jobs without interference.
However, the real question is, what's PHB?
:P
