To succeed in this new world, we will have to learn, first, who we are. Few people, even highly successful people, can answer the questions, Do you know what you're good at? Do you know what you need to learn so that you get the full benefit of your strengths? Few have even asked themselves these questions.
Peter DruckerIf there is any one secret of effectiveness, it is concentration. Effective executives do first things first and they do one thing at a time.
Peter DruckerThere is no reason to believe that the people who staff the managerial and professional positions in our service institutions are any less qualified, any less competent or honest, or any less hard-working than the men who manage businesses. Conversely, there is no reason to believe that business managers, put in control of service institutions, would do better than the 'bureaucrats'. Indeed, we know that they immediately become bureaucrats themselves.
Peter DruckerQuality of character doesn't make a leader, but the lack of it flaws the entire process.
