Peter Drucker
It’s up to you to carve out your place, to know when to change course, and to keep yourself engaged and productive during a work life that may span some 50 years.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
The most important decisions in organizations are people decisions, and yet only the military, and only recently, has begun to ask, If we assign this general to lead this base, what do we expect him to accomplish?
Peter Drucker
The experience of the human race indicates strongly that the only person in abundant supply is the universal incompetent.
Peter Drucker
Succession planning often results in the selection of a weaker representation of yourself.
