More quotes by Peter Drucker
The society of organizations is new-only seventy years ago employees were a small minority in every society.
Peter Drucker
If a manager spends more than 10 percent of his time on human relations the group is probably too large.
Peter Drucker
The company is not and must never claim to be home, family, religion, life or fate for the individual. It must never interfere in his private life or his citizenship. He is tied to the company through a voluntary and cancellable employment contract, not through some mystical or indissoluble bond.
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
Planning is actually incompatible with an entrepreneurial society and economy. Planning is the kiss of death of entrepreneurship.
Peter Drucker
Businesses are not paid to reform customers. They are paid to satisfy customers.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
Organizationally what is required - and evolving - is systems management.
Peter Drucker
Efficiency is doing better what is already being done.
Peter Drucker
When Henry Ford said, The customer can have a car in any color as long as it's black, he was not joking.
Peter Drucker
No one has ever failed to find the facts they are looking for.
Peter Drucker
One of the great movements in my lifetime among educated people is the need to commit themselves to action. Most people are not satisfied with giving money we also feel we need to work.
Peter Drucker
Important decisions are risky. They should be controversial. Acclamation means that nobody has done the homework.
Peter Drucker
Nobody can predict the future the idea is to have a firm grasp of the present.
Peter Drucker
It’s up to you to carve out your place, to know when to change course, and to keep yourself engaged and productive during a work life that may span some 50 years.
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
