More quotes by Peter Drucker
No decision has been made unless carrying it out in specific steps has become someone's work assignment and responsibility.
Peter Drucker
The question that faces the strategic decision maker is not what his organisation should do tomorrow. It is, what do we have to do today to be ready for an uncertain tomorrow?
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
We live in an age of unprecedented opportunity: If you’ve got ambition and smarts, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession, regardless of where you started out.
Peter Drucker
The individual is the central, rarest, most precious capital resource of our society.
Peter Drucker
There's nothing so useless than executing a task efficiently when it actually never should have been executed at all.
Peter Drucker
Mission defines strategy, and strategy defines structure.
Peter Drucker
People in any organization, including bureaucrats and politicians, are always attached to the obsolete the obsolescent the things that should have worked but didn't the things that once were productive and no longer are.
Peter Drucker
Because its purpose is to create a customer, the business enterprise has two - and only these two — basic functions: marketing and innovation. Marketing and innovation produce results all the rest are 'costs'.
Peter Drucker
Capitalism is being attacked not because it is inefficient or misgoverned but because it is cynical. And indeed a society based on the assertion that private vices become public benefits cannot endure, no matter how impeccable its logic, no matter how great its benefits.
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
The ultimate resource in economic development is people. It is people, not capital or raw materials that develop an economy.
Peter Drucker
Effective organizations put people in jobs in which they can do the most good. They place people -- and allow people to place themselves -- according to their strengths.
Peter Drucker
The job of a professional manager is not to like people. It is not to change people. It is to put their strengths to work.
Peter Drucker
Thus, for those who are willing to go out into the field, to look and to listen, changing demographics is both a highly productive and a highly dependable innovation opportunity.
Peter Drucker
Checking the results of a decision against its expectations shows executives what their strengths are, where they need to improve, and where they lack knowledge or information.
Peter Drucker
Increasingly, politics is not about who gets what, when, how but about values, each of them considered to be absolute. Politics is about the right to life...It is about the environment. It is about gaining equality for groups alleged to be oppressed...None of these issues is economic. All are fundamentally moral.
Peter Drucker
To arrive at the definition of the problem he must begin by finding the 'critical factor'. This is the element (or elements) in the situation that has to be changed before anything else can be changed, moved, acted upon.
Peter Drucker
Providing more desirable products, services, and customer experiences is vital to the continued existence of any business. And that is INNOVATION.
Peter Drucker
There are only two things in a business that make money - innovation and marketing, everything else is cost.
Peter Drucker
