Eisenhower's System in the White House

Dwight D. Eisenhower's first priority in office was organizing an executive branch into a smooth functioning and order driven unit just like his military units had been. He knew that urgent and important were not symptoms of disorganized, dysfunctional organization. Most of us are not the president or even president of a company, but moving up the ladder in life won't necessarily keep us there. We can compensate for disorganization with hard work and a little luck; it'll sink you if you can't grow up and organize.
