Peter Drucker
We always remember best the irrelevant.
Peter Drucker
That people even in well paid jobs choose ever earlier retirement is a severe indictment of our organizations - not just business, but government service, the universities. These people don't find their jobs interesting.
Peter Drucker
Success in the knowledge economy comes to those who know themselves - their strengths, their values, and how they best perform.
