More quotes by Peter Drucker
Universities won't survive. The future is outside the traditional campus, outside the traditional classroom. Distance learning is coming on fast.
Peter Drucker
If you're not living life on the edge, you're taking up too much space. The best way to predict the future is to create it.
Peter Drucker
Trust is congruence between what you say and what you do.
Peter Drucker
Managing innovation will increasingly become a challenge to management, and especially to top management, and a touchstone of its competence.
Peter Drucker
The only industries that function well are the industries that take responsibility for training. The Japanese, you know, assume that when you first come to work you know absolutely nothing. School isn't preparation for work and never was.
Peter Drucker
Look upon every obstacle as part payment towards your success.
Peter Drucker
Conductors do not know how the oboe does its work, but they know what the oboe should contribute.
Peter Drucker
Salvation by society failed the most where it promised the most, in the communist countries. But it also failed in the West. Practically no government program enacted since the 1950s in the Western world - or in the communist countries - has been successful.
Peter Drucker
Success in the knowledge economy comes to those who know themselves - their strengths, their values, and how they best perform.
Peter Drucker
Loafing is easy, but leisure is difficult.
Peter Drucker
The enterprise can fulfill its human and social functions only if it prospers as a business.
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
There are usually half a dozen right answers to what needs to be done. Yet, unless a person makes the risky and controversial choice of only one, he will achieve nothing.
Peter Drucker
We've spent the last 30 years focusing on the T in IT, and we'll spend the next 30 years focusing on the I.
Peter Drucker
Every single social and global issue of our day is a business opportunity in disguise.
Peter Drucker
The 1st question the effective decision-maker asks is: 'Is this a generic situation or an exception?'
Peter Drucker
Far too much reorganization goes on all the time. Organizitis is like a spastic colon.
Peter Drucker
It has been said, and only half in jest, that a tough, professionally led union is a great force for improving management performance. It forces the manager to think about what he is doing and to be able to explain his actions and behavior.
Peter Drucker
Charisma becomes the undoing of leaders. It makes them inflexible, convinced of their own infallibility, unable to change
Peter Drucker
We have tried to substitute mass for purpose. We have tried to regain military potency of defense by making it gigantic, unwieldy, complex. It never works.
Peter Drucker
