更准确地说，正是由于管理的对象是一个由共同工作目标维系着的人类社会群体，因此管理通常就要涉及到人的本性及（正如我们在经验中所了解到的）善与恶。行动指南:你的同事中是否有人让你深恶痛绝呢?你会采取什么对策呢?——彼得•德鲁克

And precisely because the object of management is a human community held together by the work bond for a common purpose， management always deals with the nature of Man and （as all of us with any practical experience have learned） with Good and Evil. Action point: Do you have any colleagues who are truly evil? Is there anything you can do about it?——Peter • Drucker

知识分子和学者们倾向于"观念先行"的看法。 他们认为：观念造就了政治、社会、经济和心理学领域内的新现实。这种情形确实发生过，但这仅仅是例外。一般而言，实践是先于理论的，行动指南:你作决策依据的前提条件是否已经"过时"了呢? 要赢得当前的市场，你是否需要一个全新的思维框架呢?——彼得•德鲁克

Intellectuals and scholars tend to believe that ideas come first， which then lead to new political， social， economic， psychological realities. This does happen， but it is the exception. As a rule， theory does not precede practice. Action point: Are the premises that you base your decisions on obsolete? Do you need a new intellectual framework to win in the market， as it exists today?——Peter • Drucker

管理是一种传统意义上的人文艺术一一之所以称其为"人文"，是因为它涉

及知识、自我认知、智慧和领导艺术等基本要素;之所以称其为"艺术"，是因

为管理涉及实践和应用。 行动指南: 你打算如何丰富自己在人文和社会科学领域内的知识呢? 今天就制定一个计划吧!——彼得•德鲁克

Management is what tradition used to call a liberal art—“liberal” because it deals with the fundamentals of knowledge， selfknowledge， wisdom and leadership; “art” because it deals with practice and application. Action point: What is your plan to develop yourself in the humanities and social sciences? Develop such a plan today——Peter • Drucker
