[Lyric] Simply Managin (Jeremy Peters)

Effective management's a magic trick
It's tragic that so many do more damage than the average
Maybe they can't handle it
Or lack the tactics to make organizations extravagant
With mind-sets that are reflective, active, and compassionate
Mintzberg didn't mince words
Don't let this be misheard
Heed Information Services, our holy scripture since Hirsch
I'm here to fix the fissure
With a bigger picture
Of what's in the literature
Because the way we learn can differ
You can listen if you wish, sure
I Speak no slurs or whispers
Just deliver verse that works to make the world a little richer
So we all emerge as victors
Equity up in the center
Everybody gets to enter
Feel some of the splendor
And be remembered
It’s in the Vision, Mission, and Values
That we have rendered
And I am the defender
Armed with 12 Elements I’m keeping forever
And using whenever I need to make my world better
(HOOK)
Simply Managin’
Set up a plan, get active
Make it happen, never let up again
Simply Managin’
Fast as you can, get movin’
If you fall then you get up again
Simply Managin’ - Get ‘em to buy in
Simply Managin’ - Get ‘em to buy in
Simply Managin’ - Get ‘em to buy in
Simply Managin’ - Get ‘em to buy in



Hey it's a beautiful day for information
Have it your way, entertainment or education
Bit by bit, we get better representation
Flip the switch, illuminate new innovation
Documentation
"This is the Way"
You know the statement
For this data I'm down like a basement
Everything in a space with the proper placement
Make it so it's not a maze
But keep it all amazing
These are some of my favorite things
Pages that bring to life so many dreams
All ages, seek that light and let it gleam
Be courageous that brightness that everybody needs
You already got it you just gotta believe
In yourself, everyone else can follow your lead
If we're together, who knows what tomorrow could be
It's a mystery, a message in a bottle at sea
(HOOK)
Simply Managin’
Set up a plan, get active
Make it happen, never let up again
Simply Managin’
Fast as you can, get movin’
If you fall then you get up again
Simply Managin’ - Get ‘em to buy in
Simply Managin’ - Get ‘em to buy in
Simply Managin’ - Get ‘em to buy in
Simply Managin’ - Get ‘em to buy in
