Peter Drucker
Of all the decisions an executive makes, none is as important as the decisions about people, because they determine the performance capacity of the organization.
Peter Drucker
With Christianity, freedom and equality became the two basic concepts of Europe they are themselves Europe.
Peter Drucker
Loafing is easy, but leisure is difficult.
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
The moment people talk of implementing instead of doing, and of finalizing instead of finishing, the organization is already running a fever.
