“Politics is when people choose their words and actions based on how they want others to react rather than based on what they really think.”
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
Patrick M. Lencioni
It can be said, without too much oversimplification, that there are no “underdeveloped countries.” There are only “undermanaged” ones. Japan a hundred and forty years ago was an underdeveloped country by every material measurement. But it very quickly produced management of great competence, indeed, of excellence. This means that management is the prime mover and that development is a consequence. All our experience in economic development proves this. Wherever we have only capital, we have not achieved development. In the few cases where we have been able to generate management energies, we have generated rapid development. Development, in other words, is a matter of human energies rather than of economic wealth. And the generation and direction of human energies is the task of management.
The Peter Drucker Collection on Becoming an Effective Executive
Peter F. Drucker
Les mauvaises décisions initiales – choisir les mauvais associés ou ne pas engager les bons employés – sont très difficiles à rectifier, une fois prises. Avant que quiconque tente même de les corriger, il faut quelquefois une crise de l’ordre d’une faillite. Le premier travail du fondateur consiste à prendre les bonnes décisions initiales, parce qu’on ne peut construire d’entreprise florissante sur des fondements erronés.
