One of the advantages of getting into the net is that knowledge sharing is further enhanced, and opening your email at the start of the day can be very exciting with the prospect of acquiring new bits of information about anything under the sun. Here's one forwarded by a friend:

Top 10 Ways To Murder Creativity

2. Get employees to fill in time sheets.
3. Run daily checks on progress of everyone's work.
4. Ensure that highly qualified people do mundane work for long periods.
5. Put barriers up between departments.
6. Don't speak personally to employees, except when announcing increased targets, shortened deadlines and tightened cost restraints.
7. Ask for a 200-page document to justify every new idea.
8. Call lots of meetings.
9. Place the biggest emphasis on the budget.
10. Kill any idea that is not your own
