More quotes by Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
The concept of profit maximization is, in fact, meaningless.
Peter Drucker
No one learns as much about a subject as one who is forced to teach it.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
Conductors do not know how the oboe does its work, but they know what the oboe should contribute.
Peter Drucker
The really important things are said over cocktails and are never done.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
Managers are the basic and scarcest resource of any business enterprise.
Peter Drucker
Objectives are not commands they are commitments.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
To make knowledge productive, we will have to learn to see both forest and tree. We will have to learn to connect.
Peter Drucker
The correct assumption is that what individuals have learned by age twenty-one will begin to become obsolete five to ten years later and will have to be replaced-or at least refurbished-by new learning, new skills, new knowledge.
Peter Drucker
Efficiency, which is doing things right, is irrelevant until you work on the right things.
Peter Drucker
The worker's effectiveness is determined largely by the way he is being managed.
Peter Drucker
Because its purpose is to create a customer, the business enterprise has two - and only these two — basic functions: marketing and innovation. Marketing and innovation produce results all the rest are 'costs'.
Peter Drucker
The experience of the human race indicates strongly that the only person in abundant supply is the universal incompetent.
Peter Drucker
