DRUCKER, Peter F.

The Practice of Management.

"The better a man is, the more mistakes will he make - for the more new things he will try. I would never promote a man into a top level job who had not made mistakes, and big ones at that. Otherwise he is sure to be mediocre": Rare First Edition of Peter Drucker's The Practice of Management; Signed by Him
