Visit to the Udvar-Hazy Center

This is a wonderful museum, next to Washington (Dulles) airport, a real child dream come true. I insert my best pictures. I'm well aware that the display of some of these machines may and should raise ambiguous feelings. The Enola Gay (picture 4) threw the first atomic bomb on Japan and it is really one of the major showpieces of this museum. It may inspire me to new blogs later. The song already exists.

I also refer to my blogs Ode to Aviation and Gute Technik ist immer schön.

The Effective Executive - Peter Drucker

The Effective Executive is perhaps the world’s most renowned management book and you will find plenty of references on the Internet. In this blog, I only wanted to share my favourite quotes:

• Establishing priorities, and concentrating your efforts on them, is a skill that requires foresight and courage.
•  There is one exception to the rule of building on strengths and covering weaknesses. Character and integrity do not accomplish anything by themselves. But their absence faults everything else. Here, therefore, is the one area where weakness is a disqualification by itself rather than a limitation on performance capacity and strength.

I refer to my earlier blog: “Seven Golden Rules of Management” and “The Knowledge-Creating Company”.
