“If we are to be successful in life, we must learn how to manage ourselves: how to develop ourselves, where to place ourselves to make the biggest contribution and how and when to change
the work we do. To manage ourselves we must ask some probing questions about ourselves:
• What are my strengths?• What are my values?• Where do I belong?• What should I contribute?• How do I perform?• How do I manage relationships?• What about the 2nd half of my life
Peter F. Drucker, “Managing Oneself” (HBR, Mar-Apr 1999:65-74)
