More quotes by 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

Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
Efficiency, which is doing things right, is irrelevant until you work on the right things.
Peter Drucker
Leadership is all about getting results.
Peter Drucker
If socialism is defined as ownership of the means of production--and this is both the orthodox and the only rigorous definition--then the United States is the first truly Socialist country.
Peter Drucker
Customers pay only for what is of use to them and gives them value. Nothing else constitutes quality.
Peter Drucker
Adequacy is the enemy of excellence.
Peter Drucker
Of those things that would make a difference, which are right for me?
Peter Drucker
Objectives are not commands they are commitments.
Peter Drucker
Doing the right thing is more important than doing the thing right.
Peter Drucker
