#42: Peter Drucker quotes
It is November and I want to remember Peter Drucker. Peter Drucker was born in November and died in November, and did much in between to teach us about modern management. Here are four Drucker quotes to demonstrate his common sense approach. The first one is my favorite because it shaped my career:
Quote #1: Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things.
Quote #2: So much of what we call management consists in making it difficult for people to work.
Quote #3: Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.
Quote #4: There is an enormous number of managers who have retired on the job. Of course, Peter Drucker wasn’t one of them. He carried on doing what he did so effectively until his death at age 95.
