Who doesn't love Michael Scott from The Office? He certainly wasn't a conventional manager but he never failed to make us smile. We've collected our favourite "Michael Scott Words of Wisdom" in the hopes that you'll get as much joy from them as we do.

2. An employee will go home and ask
his neighbor, “Hey, did you get an
award?” “No man. I mean I slave all
day and no one notices.”
Next thing you know, he smells
something funny from his
neighbor’s house. Neighbor hanged
himself due to lack of recognition.

3. Do I want to be
feared or loved?
That’s a good
question.
I want both.
I want people to be
afraid of how much
they love me!

4. Abraham Lincoln
once said that “If
you’re a racist, I
will attack you
with the North,”
and these are the
principles I carry
with me in the
workplace.

5. When I was Ryan’s age, I
worked in a fast food
restaurant to save up
money for school. And
then I lost it in a pyramid
scheme. But I learned
more about business
right then and there
than business school
would ever teach me.

6. Why do you think so
many businesses
moved to the
Caymans?
Inventory is boring.
In the islands they
don’t make you do
stuff like take
inventory.

7. Presents are the best
way to show someone
how much you care. It
is like this tangible
thing that you can
point to and say, “Hey
man, I love you this
many dollars-worth.”

8. I don't want
somebody sucking
up to me because
they think I'm going
to help their career. I
want them sucking
up to me because
they genuinely love
me.

9. You may look
around and see
two groups here;
white collar, blue
collar. But I don't
see it that way,
and you know
why not? Because
I am collar-blind.

10. Well there has
been a lot of talk
about new ideas
today. Well new
ideas are fine,
but they are also
illegal because
they are a form
of ageism.
What? Yes, I am
right.

11. Make friends first, make
sales second, make love
third. In no particular
order.
