First-rate engineers, for instance, tend to take pride in not knowing anything about people…. Human resource professionals, by contrast, often pride themselves in their ignorance of elementary accounting…But taking pride in such ignorance is self-defeating.” Peter Drucker, professor and management consultant, writer of several books and articles including “The Practice of Management”. Excerpt from “Managing Oneself,” Harvard Business Review March-April 1999
