Out of Context: Gaius Petronius Arbiter on Reorganizing

outcontext

"We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams, we would be reorganized…. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing, and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization."
—Attributed to Gaius Petronius Arbiter (Titus Petronius Niger)
