The job of a professional manager is not to like people. It is not to change people. It is to put their strengths to work.
Peter DruckerThere is no perfect strategic decision. One always has to pay a price. One always has to balance conflicting objectives, conflicting opinions, and conflicting priorities. The best strategic decision is only an approximation - and a risk.
Peter DruckerKnowledge has become the key economic resource and the dominant-and perhaps even the only-source of competitive advantage.
Peter DruckerInnovation is the specific tool of entrepreneurs, the means by which they exploit change as an opportunity for a different business or a different service. It is capable of being presented as a discipline, capable of being learned, capable of being practiced. Entrepreneurs need to search purposefully for the sources of innovation, the changes and their symptoms that indicate opportunities for successful innovation. And they need to know and to apply the principles of successful innovation.
