Gems from Drucker - 1


A manager is responsible for the application and performance of knowledge.


Accept the fact that we have to treat almost anybody as a volunteer.


Business, that's easily defined - it's other people's money.


Checking the results of a decision against its expectations shows executives what their strengths are, where they need to improve, and where they lack knowledge or information.


Company cultures are like country cultures. Never try to change one. Try, instead, to work with what you've got.


Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.


Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things.


Executives owe it to the organization and to their fellow workers not to tolerate nonperforming individuals in important jobs.


Few companies that installed computers to reduce the employment of clerks have realized their expectations... They now need more, and more expensive clerks even though they call them 'operators' or 'programmers.'


Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.


Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship. The act that endows resources with a

new capacity to create wealth.


Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.


Making good decisions is a crucial skill at every level.


Management by objective works - if you know the objectives. Ninety percent of the time you don't.


Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.


Most discussions of decision making assume that only senior executives make decisions or that only senior executives' decisions matter. This is a dangerous mistake.


Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.


My greatest strength as a consultant is to be ignorant and ask a few questions.


Never mind your happiness; do your duty.


No institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organized in such a way as to be able to get along under a leadership composed of average human beings.

[205] High-profile examples of AI include autonomous vehicles (such as  drones  and  self-driving cars ), medical diagnosis, creating art (such as poetry), proving mathematical theorems, playing games (such as Chess or Go), search engines (such as  Google search ), online assistants (such as  Siri ), image recognition in photographs, spam filtering, prediction of judicial decisions [206]  and targeting online advertisements.
