Drucker
Peter Drucker’s timeless classic isn’t that old, considering his longevity (it was published in 1999). The introduction, in just two paragraphs, lets you know that this is one article to pay attention to and re-read every now and then (we’ve included the intro inside). There’s one emphasis we’d like to add: “hunger” – the day-to-day commitment to be/ become exceptional, perform exceptionally and not settle for anything less than that.
“If we did not do this already, would we, knowing what we now know, go into it?” Peter Drucker’s question can be applied in both the big picture and small picture – from the broadest strategic moves of your company to its tiniest daily processes. More than that: try substituting “company” in the previous sentence for “department”, “nation”, “regulatory system” and even “life”.
