"Meetings are by definition a concession to..." - Quote by Peter Drucker

“There's nothing so useless than executing a task efficiently when it actually never should have been executed at all.”

“If something fails despite being carefully planned, carefully designed, and conscientiously executed, that failure often bespeaks underlying change and, with it, opportunity.”

“During periods of discontinuous, abrupt change, the essence of adaptation involves a keen sensitivity to what should be abandoned - not what should be changed or introduced. A willingness to depart from the familiar has distinct survival value.”

“Meetings are a symptom of bad organization. The fewer meetings the better.”

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

“The least productive people are usually the ones who are most in favor of holding meetings.”

“Never fire a warning shot. It is a waste of ammunition.”

“It is better to do something than to do nothing while waiting to do everything.”

“When a love comes to an end, weaklings cry, efficient ones instantly find another love, and the wise already have one in reserve.”
