Peter F Drucker - The Father of Modern Management.

As you begin, consider this wonderful sentence from a sermon of that great poet and religious philosopher of the seventeenth century, John Donne: “Never start with tomorrow to reach eternity. Eternity is not being reached by small steps.” We start with the long range and then feed back and say, “What do we do today?” The ultimate test is not the beauty of the mission statement. The ultimate test is your performance.
