Lesson 1 - An Introduction to Modern Management Thinkers
Why should we know about them?
“Great minds, discuss ideas. Average minds, discuss events. Small minds, discuss people.”
(Eleanor Roosevelt)

To learn to form your own ideas: by following, listening, seeing, and being able to read people
– who have done what you can.

• Less bureaucracy
• Few rules stimulate creativity


STEVE JOBS
Entrepreneurship
“Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your inner
voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your

want to become. Everything else is secondary.”


STEVEN COVEY
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
1. Be proactive
2. Begin with the end in mind
3. Put first things first
4. Think win-win
5. Seek first to understand, then to be understood
6. Synergize
7. Sharpen the saw


PETER DRUCKER
