I’m hosting a leadership conference for a small group of very special people this week. This seems a great time to bring out some timeless gems from Peter Drucker.

  • “Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.”
  • “No institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organized in such a way as to be able to get along under a leadership composed of average human beings.”
  • “Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.”

Do you have a favourite quote or words of wisdom to share?
