Mother Teresa's numerical results were not her greatest contribution. Instead, she made the world-and especially India-conscious of compassion.
Peter Drucker
Image
The only industries that function well are the industries that take responsibility for training. The Japanese, you know, assume that when you first come to work you know absolutely nothing. School isn't preparation for work and never was.
Peter Drucker
Image
To be a manager requires more than a title, a big office, and other outward symbols of rank. It requires competence and performance of a high order.

Image
The most important, and indeed the truly unique, contribution of management in the 20th century was the fifty-fold increase in the productivity of the MANUAL WORKER in manufacturing. The most important contribution management needs to make in the 21st century is similarly to increase the productivity of KNOWLEDGE WORK and the KNOWLEDGE WORKER.

Without institution there is no management. But without management there is no institution.

The tool user, provided the tool is made well, need not, and indeed should not, know anything about the tool.
