Of all the important pieces of selfknowledge,understanding how you learn is the easiest to acquire. 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 non performance.——Peter • Drucker
你首先要问自己:我属于读者型还是听者型?我如何学习的?但是,光这些问题显然不够。要想做好自我管理,你还需要问:我能与别人合作得好吗?还是喜欢单枪匹马?如果你确实与别人合作的很好,你还需要问自己:这是一种什么样的合作关系?——彼得•德鲁克
Am I a reader or a listener? and How do I learn? are the first questions to ask. But they are by no means the only ones.To manage yourself effectively, you also have to ask. Do I work well with people,or am I a loner? And if you do work well with people, you then must ask, In what relationship?——Peter • Drucker
另一个关键的问题是:为了使工作有成效,我应该作为决策者还是作为顾问呢?许多人做顾问时的表现很出色,但是不能够承担决策的负担和压力。与此相反,也有许多人需要顾问来迫使他们思考,随后才能做出决定,并迅速、自信和大胆地去落实。——彼得•德鲁克
Another crucial question is: Do I produce results as a decision maker or as an adviser? A great many people perform best as advisers but cannot take the burden and pressure of making the
decision. A good many other people,by contrast, need an adviser to force themselves to think; then they can make decisions and act on them with speed, selfconfidence,and courage.——Peter • Drucker
