Profit is not a cause but a result-
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
The key to greatness is to look for people's potential and spend time developing it.
Peter Drucker
To make the future demands courage. It demands work. But it also demands faith.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
There is an unbroken chain of opposition to the introduction of economic freedom and to the capitalist autonomy of the economic sphere... In every case the opposition could only be overcome - peacefully or by force - because of the promise of capitalism to establish equality... That this promise was an illusion we all know.
Peter Drucker
Profit is not the explanation, cause, or rationale of business behavior and business decisions, but the test of their validity.
Peter Drucker
Growth that adds volume without improving productivity is fat. Growth that diminishes productivity is cancer.
Peter Drucker
Brilliant men are often strikingly ineffectual. They fail to realize that the brilliant insight is not by itself achievement. They never have learned that insights become effectiveness only through hard systematic work.
Peter Drucker
Leadership is not rank, privileges, title or money. It is responsibility.
Peter Drucker
One cannot hire a hand the whole man always comes with it.
Peter Drucker
