The body of an organization has four kinds of bones
* The Wish bones – those who spend all their time wishing someone else would do all the work;
* The Jaw bones – those who do all the talking, but very little else;
* The Knuckle bones – those who know everything that everybody else tries to do; and
* The Back bones – those who get under the load and do all the work.
(Nineveh West August 1977)
