Peter Drucker on Managing Oneself
It takes far more energy and work to improve from incompetence to mediocrity than it takes to improve from first-rate performance to excellence. And yet most people — especially most teachers and most organizations — concentrate on making incompetent performers into mediocre ones. Energy, resources, and time should go instead to making a competent person into a star performer.
Peter F. Drucker, “Managing Oneself,” Harvard Business Review Mar/Apr 99
