Dalam kunjungan singkatnya beliau menyampaikan pelajaran yang sangat berguna dengan judul, "How to Apply The Loss lessons and Wisdom of Peter Drucker in School". 1. What everybody knows is frequently wrong People frequently make erroneous assumptions, look at the source, if possible, peel the onion to find the originator, don't believe it until you investigate the situation yourself. 2. You mutbuild your own self-confidence Prepare yourself for success and avoid fear of failure, Don't think of any situation as a failure, but rather as a learning experience. Develop expertise outside of your own field, Use positive imagery, Behave confidently even if you are uncertain. 3. If you keep doing what made you successful in the past you are going to eventually fall. Change is inevitable, stay flexible and be prepared for change, Obselete your own products, create your own future, If you are in business, you must innovate. 4. Approach problem with your ignorance-Not your experience Solving Problems: Ask questions, Question your assumptions, Consider many different possible solutions and test if possible. 5. You can't predict the future, but you can create it. Don't worry about the future-no one can predict it exactly, Decide on your objectives, Do a situational analysis and look at your resources, Develop a plan, Take action and create the future, adjusting your plan as needed. 6. Workers must be led, not managed There must be a leader incharge!, Motivate each worker according to the individual and the situation, Ethics and integrity are crucial, Why Drucker admired the military over other organizations, Treat all workers as if they were volunteers, because they are. 7. All businesses must based on Innovation and Marketing. Implemention of the marketing concept is primary for any business, The objective of a business is not to create a profit, it is to create a sustainable customer, Startegy and Tactics are not the same and poor marketing strategy cannot be overcome by good marketing tactics, Customer pay only for what gives them value and value can only be determined by research and by knowing one's customer.
