PETER DRUCKER QUOTED @ DAVOS 2010
In yesterday’s panel discussion entitled ‘Business Leadership for the 21st Century’, the noted management guru was cited:
“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.”
Peter F. Drucker (1909-2005)
I wonder whether Davos attendees, Drucker himself and his heirs — whether intellectual or actual — put his wise words into PRACTICE and don’t simply preach it. After all, we’ve had a global financial crisis, various controversial wars, country trade stand-offs, MPs’ expenses scandals and technology crash+burns in the Semantic and socmedia sectors……………………………
Somewhere, somehow leadership clearly did the wrong things, couldn’t connect and contextualize the dots, steered into icebergs, fell asleep on their watch or went AWOL.
Here’s a question that might be interesting: “What’s it called when management doesn’t do things right and leadership doesn’t do the right things?”
Answer: WRONG.
