"One can either work or meet. One..." - Quote by Peter Drucker

“If you can't measure it, you can't change it.”

“There's an enormous number of managers who have retired on the job.”

“You can't manage knowledge.Knowledge is between two ears and only between two ears.”

“Don't start the day until you have it finished. Don't start the week until you have it finished. Don't start the month until you have it finished. Plan your day.”

“Every piece of work in the shops moves. Save 10 steps a day for each of the 12,000 employees, and you will have saved 50 miles of wasted motion and misspent energy.”

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

“Meetings are an addictive, highly self-indulgent activity that corporations and other large organizations habitually engage in only because they cannot actually masturbate.”

“One either meets or one works.”

“I hate the way people use slide presentations instead of thinking. People would confront a problem by creating a presentation. I wanted them to engage, to hash things out at the table, rather than show a bunch of slides. People who know what they're talking about don't need PowerPoint.”
