More quotes by Peter Drucker
The days of the 'intuitive' manager are numbered.
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
And no matter how serious an environmental problem the automobile poses in today's big city, the horse was dirtier, smelled worse, killed and maimed more people, and congested the streets just as much.
Peter Drucker
The large organization has to learn to innovate, or it won't survive.
Peter Drucker
Quality in a service or product is not what you put into it. It is what the client or customer gets out of it.
Peter Drucker
Planning is actually incompatible with an entrepreneurial society and economy. Planning is the kiss of death of entrepreneurship.
Peter Drucker
It is commonly believed that innovations create changes - but few ever do. Successful innovations exploit changes that have already happened.
Peter Drucker
Meetings are a symptom of bad organization. The fewer meetings the better.
Peter Drucker
Far too much reorganization goes on all the time. Organizitis is like a spastic colon.
Peter Drucker
Managers are the basic and scarcest resource of any business enterprise.
Peter Drucker
Defending yesterday is far more risky than making tomorrow.
Peter Drucker
Nobody in the world is as good at making decisions as the Japanese.
Peter Drucker
Efficiency is doing better what is already being done.
Peter Drucker
An organization which just perpetuates today's level of vision, excellence, and accomplishment has lost the capacity to adapt.
Peter Drucker
If a manager spends more than 10 percent of his time on human relations the group is probably too large.
Peter Drucker
If you have too many problems, maybe you should get out of business. There is no law that says a company must last forever.
Peter Drucker
Growth that adds volume without improving productivity is fat. Growth that diminishes productivity is cancer.
Peter Drucker
The single minded ones, the monomaniacs, are the only true achievers
Peter Drucker
Don't take on things you don't believe in and that you yourself are not good at. Learn to say no. Effective leaders match the objective needs of their company with the subjective competencies. As a result, they get an enormous amount of things done fast.
Peter Drucker
The worker's effectiveness is determined largely by the way he is being managed.
Peter Drucker
