+## Chapter 14 Hornblower factor (pp.107-112)
+
+- Align personnel
+  - Officer Hornblower, in C.S. Forrester's Napoleonic Wars series of novels, was the ultimate manager, with a knack for discerning and utilizing his helpful subordinates.
+  -It's normal for a manager to have no power to change the nature of his subordinates, so it's important to have the right people for the job from the start.
+  - To improve your hiring skills, you need to overcome your fear of the unconscious pressure of 'standards' that your organization potentially imposes and not hire like-minded people.
+
+- standard clothing
+  - Powerful managers are proud of their members' accomplishments and don't care what they wear
+  - Dress codes (including uniforms) take away too much leeway from individuals and leave companies too late to the extent that some previous suggestions for improvement are meaningless.
+
+→ Wearing a uniform doesn't mean you'll be able to work. I would be happy to buy it.
+
+- "Professional"
+  - Unconfident middle management feels uneasy about behavior that deviates from the standard, so even if it is an internal department that does not interact with customers, it expresses a dominance relationship by imposing homogenized rules.
+  - The word **unprofessional** is an expression of concern
+  - The word **professional** applies to people who look the same
+
+→ Unprofessional (laughs). (laughs)
+
+- firm entropy
+  - Corporate entropy (=homogeneity), the uniformity of attitudes, appearances, and thought processes, continues to grow
+
+```
+The second law of thermodynamics applied to management:
+Entropy always increases in an organization
+
+[Second Law of Original Thermodynamics: From Hot Body to Cold Body
+The reduction in heat flow is irreversible and irreversible]
+```
+
+- continuation
+  - This is why many older companies are more tightly controlled and less fun than younger ones
+  - Successful managers disrupt the homogeneity of their departments and attract non-standard talent
+
+→ I think one of the reasons why companies want to treat their employees the same is that they tend to see them as part of the company brand (after all, they're treated as objects). I know it's out of the question to be unsanitary, but in the end it's likely to come down to the question, "Does it have anything to do with productivity?" Unsanitary conditions are incompatible with productivity.
