More quotes by Peter Drucker
That people even in well paid jobs choose ever earlier retirement is a severe indictment of our organizations - not just business, but government service, the universities. These people don't find their jobs interesting.
Peter Drucker
To make the future demands courage. It demands work. But it also demands faith.
Peter Drucker
Any organisation develops people it either forms them or deforms them.
Peter Drucker
Charisma becomes the undoing of leaders. It makes them inflexible, convinced of their own infallibility, unable to change
Peter Drucker
The single most important thing to remember about any enterprise is that results exist only on the outside.The result of a business is a satisfied customer. The result of a hospital is a satisfied patient. The result of a school is a student who has learned something and puts it to work ten years later. Inside an enterprise there are only costs.
Peter Drucker
Absolute size by itself is no indicator of success and achievement, let alone of managerial competence. Being the right size is.
Peter Drucker
Change is the norm unless an organization sees that its task is to lead change, that organization will not survive.
Peter Drucker
The best plan is only a plan... unless it degerates into work.
Peter Drucker
Leaders shouldn?t attach moral significance to their ideas: Do that, and you can?t compromise.
Peter Drucker
To be a manager requires more than a title, a big office, and other outward symbols of rank. It requires competence and performance of a high order.
Peter Drucker
Increasingly, politics is not about who gets what, when, how but about values, each of them considered to be absolute. Politics is about the right to life...It is about the environment. It is about gaining equality for groups alleged to be oppressed...None of these issues is economic. All are fundamentally moral.
Peter Drucker
Our society has become an employee society.
Peter Drucker
Nobody in the world is as good at making decisions as the Japanese.
Peter Drucker
It is easier to raise the performance of one leader than it is to raise the performance of a whole mass.
Peter Drucker
Decision making is the specific executive task.
Peter Drucker
You can't manage what you don't measure.
Peter Drucker
Managers are the basic and scarcest resource of any business enterprise.
Peter Drucker
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
Peter Drucker
The enterprise that does not innovate ages and declines. And in a period of rapid change such as the present, the decline will be fast.
Peter Drucker
What's absolutely unforgivable is the financial benefit top management people get for laying off people. There's no excuse for it. No justification. No explanation. This is morally and socially unforgivable, and we'll pay a very nasty price.
Peter Drucker
