Use feedback analysis to identify your strengths. Then go to work on improving your strengths. Identify and eliminate bad habits that hinder the full development of your strengths. Figure out what you should do and do it. Finally, decide what you should not do.
Peter Drucker
It has been said, and only half in jest, that a tough, professionally led union is a great force for improving management performance. It forces the manager to think about what he is doing and to be able to explain his actions and behavior.
Peter Drucker
You can't manage knowledge.Knowledge is between two ears and only between two ears.
Peter Drucker
It's amazing how many things busy people are doing that never will be missed.
Peter Drucker
Your first and foremost job as a leader is to take charge of your own energy and then help to orchestrate the energy of those around you.
Peter Drucker
The individual needs the return to spiritual values, for he can survive in the present human situation only by reaffirming that man is not just a biological and psychological being but also a spiritual being, that is creature, and existing for the purposes of his Creator and subject to Him.
Peter Drucker
Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.
Peter Drucker
When a resource is scarce, you increase its yield.
