More quotes by Peter Drucker
No one learns as much about a subject as one who is forced to teach it.
Peter Drucker
Leadership is lifting a person's vision to high sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.
Peter Drucker
There is no perfect strategic decision. One always has to pay a price. One always has to balance conflicting objectives, conflicting opinions, and conflicting priorities. The best strategic decision is only an approximation - and a risk.
Peter Drucker
Promotion should not be more important than accomplishment, or avoiding instability more important than taking the right risk.
Peter Drucker
I find more and more executives less and less well informed about the outside world, if only because they believe that the data on the computer printouts are ipso facto information.
Peter Drucker
Our job in life is to make a positive difference, not prove we're right.
Peter Drucker
Follow effective action with quiet reflection.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
People who need certainty are unlikely to make good entrepreneurs.
Peter Drucker
Now that knowledge is taking the place of capital as the driving force in organizations worldwide, it is all too easy to confuse data with knowledge and information technology with information.
Peter Drucker
I would hope that American managers-indeed, managers worldwide-continue to appreciate what I have been saying almost from day one: that management is so much more than exercising rank and privilege, that it is much more than making deals. Management affects people and their lives.
Peter Drucker
The most important contribution management needs to make in the 21st century is ... to increase the productivity of knowledge work and the knowledge worker
Peter Drucker
You cannot build performance on weaknesses. You can build only on strengths.
Peter Drucker
The first step toward making the worker achieving is to make work productive.
Peter Drucker
The productivity of work is not the responsibility of the worker but of the manager.
Peter Drucker
Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.
Peter Drucker
Inside an organization there are only cost centers. The only profit center is a customer whose check has not bounced.
Peter Drucker
Knowledge has become the key economic resource and the dominant-and perhaps even the only-source of competitive advantage.
Peter Drucker
The worker's effectiveness is determined largely by the way he is being managed.
Peter Drucker
The individual is the central, rarest, most precious capital resource of our society.
Peter Drucker
