„Wir haben uns hart eingearbeitet … aber es schien, als würden wir jedes Mal umorganisiert, wenn wir anfingen, unsere Teambildung zu vollenden. Ich habe später im Leben gelernt, dass wir dazu neigen, jeder neuen Situation durch Reorganisation zu begegnen. Das ist eine wunderbare Methode, um die Illusion des Fortschritts zu erzeugen bei gleichzeitiger Steigerung von Verwirrung, Ineffizienz und Demoralisierung.“

Original

We trained hard... but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.

A paraphrased quotation from Charlton Ogburn (1911–1998) in "Merrill's Marauders: The truth about an incredible adventure" http://www.harpers.org/archive/1957/01/0007289 in the January 1957 issue of Harper's Magazine
Actual Charlton Ogburn quote: "We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized. Presumably the plans for our employment were being changed. I was to learn later in life that, perhaps because we are so good at organizing, we tend as a nation to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralization."
