More quotes by Peter Drucker
A fundamental responsibility of leadership is make sure that everybody knows the mission, understands it, lives it.
Peter Drucker
Look at government programs for the past fifty years. Every single one - except warfare - achieved the exact opposite of its announced goal.
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
Teaching 23-year-olds in an MBA programme strikes me as largely a waste of time. They lack the background of experience. You can teach them skills - accounting and what have you - but you can't teach them management.
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 basic economic resource - the means of production - is no longer capital, nor natural resources, nor labor. It is and will be knowledge.
Peter Drucker
Don't try to innovate for the future. Innovate for the present!
Peter Drucker
Tomorrow always arrives. It is always different. And even the mightiest company is in trouble if it has not worked on the future. Being surprised by what happens is a risk that even the largest and richest company cannot afford, and even the smallest business need not run.
Peter Drucker
Nothing is less productive than to make more efficient what should not be done at all.
Peter Drucker
Entrepreneurship is neither a science nor an art. It is a practice.
Peter Drucker
The more successful the unit, the more difficult it is to make sure that the large company doesn't put the same expectations on it as it does for the rest of the company. When it's a new venture, whether it's outside or inside the business, it's a child. And you don't put a 40-pound pack on a 6-year-old's back when you take her hiking.
Peter Drucker
Leadership is not rank, privileges, title or money. It is responsibility.
Peter Drucker
There is every indication that the period ahead will be an innovative one, one of rapid change in technology , society , economy , and institutions .
Peter Drucker
Strong people have strong weaknesses.
Peter Drucker
We have only one alternative: either to build a functioning industrial society or see freedom itself disappear in anarchy and tyranny.
Peter Drucker
The relevant question is not simply what shall we do tomorrow, but rather what shall we do today in order to get ready for tomorrow.
Peter Drucker
The first organization structure in the modern West was laid down in the canon law of the Catholic Church eight hundred years ago.
Peter Drucker
No one has ever failed to find the facts they are looking for.
Peter Drucker
Follow effective action with quiet reflection.
Peter Drucker
Important decisions are risky. They should be controversial. Acclamation means that nobody has done the homework.
Peter Drucker
