Quote by Norman Augustine
If sufficient number of management layers are superimposed on top of each other, it can be assured that disaster is not left to chance.
Summary
This quote suggests that by having multiple layers of management within an organization, the likelihood of disaster or failure can be minimized. The idea is that with each layer of management, there are more opportunities for checks and balances, decision-making processes, and oversight, ultimately reducing the possibility of a catastrophic event occurring due to incompetence, negligence, or chance. By having more people involved in the decision-making and implementation processes, it becomes more likely that potential risks and issues will be identified and addressed before they escalate into disasters.
