Peter Drucker
The honest work of yesterday has lost its social status, its social esteem.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
There's nothing so useless than executing a task efficiently when it actually never should have been executed at all.
Peter Drucker
Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.
Peter Drucker
