More quotes by Peter Drucker
I find more and more executives less and less well informed about the outside world, if only because they believe that the data on the computer printouts are ipso facto information.
Peter Drucker
The enterprise can fulfill its human and social functions only if it prospers as a business.
Peter Drucker
We no longer even understand the question whether change is by itself good or bad, ...We start out with the axiom that it is the norm. We do not see change as altering the order... We see change as being order itself - indeed the only order we can comprehend today is a dynamic, a moving, a changing one.
Peter Drucker
When the business grows, the person who founded it is incredibly busy. Rapid growth puts an enormous strain on a business. You outgrow your production facilities. You outgrow your management capabilities.
Peter Drucker
Our society has become an employee society.
Peter Drucker
Without institution there is no management. But without management there is no institution.
Peter Drucker
Our job in life is to make a positive difference, not prove we're right.
Peter Drucker
The need to manage oneself is creating a revolution in human affairs.
Peter Drucker
Organizationally what is required - and evolving - is systems management.
Peter Drucker
Plans are worthless, but planning is invaluable.
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
You can either take action, or you can hang back and hope for a miracle. Miracles are great, but they are so unpredictable.
Peter Drucker
People who need certainty are unlikely to make good entrepreneurs.
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
Time is the scarcest resource.
Peter Drucker
Fascism is the result of the collapse of Europe's spiritual and social order... catastrophes broke through the everyday routine which makes men accept existing forms, institutions and tenets as unalterable natural laws. They suddenly exposed the vacuum behind the facade of society.
Peter Drucker
Education can no longer be the sole property of the state.
Peter Drucker
Management is not being brilliant. Management is being conscientious.
Peter Drucker
The race for Quality has no finish line - so technically, it's more like a death march. Efficiency is doing things right effectiveness is doing the right things.
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
