Peter Drucker
Only three things happen naturally in organizations: friction, confusion, and underperformance. Everything else requires leadership.
Peter Drucker
The young knowledge worker whose job is too small to challenge and test his abilities either leaves or declines rapidly into premature middle age, soured, cynical, unproductive.
Peter Drucker
The race for Quality has no finish line - so technically, it's more like a death march. Efficiency is doing things right effectiveness is doing the right things.
Peter Drucker
