And then we move to more wisdom in the following motivational work quotes
from Peter Drucker:

“Any organization develops people: it has no choice. It either helps them grow or stunts them. What do we know about developing people? Quite a bit, We certainly know what not to do. First, one does not try to build upon people’s weaknesses. Develop your people. Focus on their strengths. Then make high demands based on a person’s strengths. Finally, periodically view their performance.”
Quote: Peter Drucker

—————

“A man should never be appointed to a managerial position if his vision focuses on people’s weaknesses rather than on their strengths. The man who always knows what people cannot do, but never sees what they can do, will undermine the spirit of the organization. Of course, a manager should have a clear grasp of the limitations of his people, but he should see these as limitations on what they can do, and as a challenge to them to do better.”
Quote: Peter Drucker

Finally, periodically view their performance.”
Quote: Peter Drucker

—————

“I’m always asked how I know what kind of organization to accept as a client. When you walk through the door, you know in two minutes whether they enjoy it. And if they don’t enjoy it, then I’d rather not work for them. But if they like it and they feel tomorrow is going to be better – that creates a totally different climate.”
Quote: Peter Drucker

—————

“Those who perform love what they’re doing. I’m not saying they like everything they do…..Pianists have a wonderful expression I heard many years ago: “I practice until I have my life in my fingers. The same is true of people I have seen in business who enjoy the work. Their routine is: it’s got to be done, and I enjoy it because I enjoy the work.”
Quote: Peter Drucker
