“Managing Oneself” (1999)
Peter F. Drucker
Harvard Business Review
“The second thing to know about how one performs is to know how one learns.
Many ?rst class writers—Winston Churchill is but one example—do poorly in school. They tend to remember their schooling as pure torture.
Yet few of their classmates remember it the same way. They may not have enjoyed the school very much, but the worst they suffered was boredom.
When I ask people, ‘How do you learn?’ most of them know the answer. But when I ask, ‘Do you act on this knowledge?’ few answer yes.
And yet, acting on this knowledge is the key to performance; or rather, not acting on this knowledge condemns one to nonperformance.”
