More quotes by Peter Drucker
If the feudal knight was the clearest embodiment of society in the early Middle Ages, and the bourgeois under Capitalism, the educated person will represent society in the post-capitalist society in which knowledge has become the central resource.
Peter Drucker
Most people think they know what they are good at. They are usually wrong... And yet, a person can perform only from strength.
Peter Drucker
Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.
Peter Drucker
The experience of the human race indicates strongly that the only person in abundant supply is the universal incompetent.
Peter Drucker
Leadership is all about getting results.
Peter Drucker
Innovation is the specific tool of entrepreneurs, the means by which they exploit change as an opportunity for a different business or a different service.
Peter Drucker
Do the right things instead of trying to do everything right.
Peter Drucker
Tomorrow always arrives. It is always different. And even the mightiest company is in trouble if it has not worked on the future. Being surprised by what happens is a risk that even the largest and richest company cannot afford, and even the smallest business need not run.
Peter Drucker
Through systematic terror, through indoctrination, through systematic manipulation of stimulus, reward, and punishment, we can today break man and convert him into brute animal... The first step toward survival is therefore to make government legitimate again by attempting to deprive it of these powers... by international action to ban such powers.
Peter Drucker
Every enterprise is learning and teaching institution. Training and development must be built into it on all levels, training and development that never stop.
Peter Drucker
We always remember best the irrelevant.
Peter Drucker
The subordinate's job is not to reform or reeducate the boss, not to make him conform to what the business schools or the management book say bosses should be like. It is to enable a particular boss to perform as a unique individual.
Peter Drucker
If you want to predict the future create it.
Peter Drucker
There is the risk you cannot afford to take, and there is the risk you cannot afford not to take.
Peter Drucker
Mission defines strategy, and strategy defines structure.
Peter Drucker
Business purpose and business mission are so rarely given adequate thought is perhaps the most important cause of business frustration and failure.
Peter Drucker
The most important, and indeed the truly unique, contribution of management in the 20th century was the fifty-fold increase in the productivity of the MANUAL WORKER in manufacturing. The most important contribution management needs to make in the 21st century is similarly to increase the productivity of KNOWLEDGE WORK and the KNOWLEDGE WORKER.
Peter Drucker
To make the future demands courage. It demands work. But it also demands faith.
Peter Drucker
That people even in well paid jobs choose ever earlier retirement is a severe indictment of our organizations - not just business, but government service, the universities. These people don't find their jobs interesting.
Peter Drucker
Follow effective action with quiet reflection.
Peter Drucker
