Such has finding right project, right services, right products to work with and eliminate that does not give us any result. He also points out how most people spend lots of time in things that adds less value to them and also to others.

        He per mutates and combines people with Smart, intelligent, lazy and Hard working

Smart	Hardworking	Stupid	Lazy	What to do?
X	X			Keep those people with you. Near you
		X	X	Don’t even think about these guys.
	X	X		Fire these guys because they add work to every one.(My Personal favorite, because I realized after reading this, because they add lots of work for everyone around)
X			X	Make them as leads
