David's time with Peter F.Drucker2020.9.2 冠鼎学院（Guanding Academy）——识别·培养·考验未来领导者的学院 Executives who ask these questions will soon find that little of the information they need comes out of their own company's information system. Some comes out of accounting——though in many cases the accounting data has to be rethought, reformulated, rearranged to apply to the executive's own work. The only one who can answer the question:”What do I owe by way of information? To whom? In what form?” is the other person. The first step in obtaining the information that executives need for their own work is, therefore, to go to everyone with whom they work, everyone on whom they depend, everyone who needs to know what they themselves are doing, and ask them. But before one asks, one has to be prepared to answer. For the other person will——and should——come back and ask:”And what information do you need from me?”——《Management Challenges for the 21st Century》Chapter 4.
