经典重读

一直觉得，Drucker对管理学的意义，相当于YSL对时尚界的意义：
　　－Drucker提出了几乎所有管理学的命题，后来人不过是在他建起的框架上精雕细琢；
　　－YSL设计出了女装几乎所有的Silhouette, 后来人不过是年年新瓶装旧酒而已。

这本书刚上大学时虽然也算看过一遍，但远没有这次深有感触，管理学的东西，关键还是要结合实际经验。

PS: 这本书的副标题虽号称The Best of Sixty Years of Peter Drucker's Essential Writings on Management, 但其实有点误导，实际上只涉及Drucker十本书的精华摘录，相对于Drucker总共几十本的著作量来说，只是冰山一角。


The purpose of business is to create and keep a customer.

The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Efficiency is doing the thing right. Effectiveness is doing the right thing.

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

So much of what we call management consists in making it difficult for people to work.

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

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

The productivity of work is not the responsibility of the worker but of the manager.

When a subject becomes totally obsolete we make it a required course.

Making good decisions is a crucial skill at every level.

The entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it, and exploits it as an opportunity.

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