Peter Drucker Quotes

Let us not confuse objectives with methods. Too many so-called leaders of the nation fail to see the forest because of the trees. Too many of them fail to recognize the vital necessity of planning for definite objectives. True leadership calls for the setting forth of the objectives and the rallying of public opinion in support of these objectives.

You need to have proper management if you're going to move forward.

Resources follow vision.

It's important to have a plan, a big picture. You can deviate from it or change it completely, but it gives you something to work for.
