[Histonet] FW: Microtome at home

Thu Apr 16 20:18:47 CDT 2020

"Taking control of the situation is key."

It's very interesting to me that most of the responses have to do with
institutionalized bureaucratic ideas (safety, insurance, liability, regulations)
rather than how to get things done.

I was thinking about how Virchow and Henle and other pioneers would
have been able to get anything done in the face of such reverence
for the stultifying bureaucracy that is the enemy of effectiveness.

Afraid to decide, no action is taken.

/"Auftragstaktik/ can be seen as a doctrine within which formal rules can be selectively suspended in order to overcome "friction"."
