“Effective people are not problem minded; they’re opportunity-minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems. They think preventively.” #PeterDrucker #leadership

“The entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it, and exploits it as an opportunity.”

> “We manage what we measure” is a cliché often uttered in business boardrooms, but... true. You could also say that we “#mismanage what we #mismeasure.”.. we mismanage the scale of the economy because we’re treating an indicator of its size—#GDP—as if it were a measure of social performance. If we want to achieve a #sustainable and #FairEconomy that provides a high quality of life, it’s crucial to get the measures right.

> Some things that can be measured shouldn’t be.. Can you imagine #Google or #Amazon or #Facebook announcing, “We have decided to stop measuring stuff in order to spend some time considering what’s actually worth measuring”? No, today’s ethos is simpler, easier to execute: “If you measure it, the meaning will come.”
...
#Measure in #measurement, too, would seem advisable.

It’s dubious and dangerous, Drucker is saying, to take what’s measurable for what’s important. But he’s also saying something much more radical, even subversive: Some things that can be measured shouldn’t be.
