Management is doing things right, leadership is doing the right things. – Peter F. Drucker
When I read this thought, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to use it as a positive thought. I couldn’t quite see how something that so clearly applies to work would cross over into life. Then it dawned on me. This is exactly how we should be living our lives. Yes, we want to do things correctly – of course we do. But more important than that is doing the right thing.
How we live our lives is the most important telling thing about ourselves. It is said that character is how we act when nobody is watching. We should live lives of strong character and strive to always do the right thing.
