More quotes by Peter Drucker
Business exists to supply goods and services to customers and economic surplus to society, rather than to supply jobs to workers and managers or even dividends to shareholders.
Peter Drucker
Objectives are not commands they are commitments.
Peter Drucker
The productivity of people requires continuous learning, as the Japanese have taught us. It requires adoption in the West of the specific Japanese Zen concept where one learns to do better what one already does well.
Peter Drucker
Every organization has to prepare for the abandonment of everything it does.
Peter Drucker
Never ask who's right. Start out by asking what is right. And you find that out by listening to dissenting, disagreeing opinions.
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
Any organisation develops people it either forms them or deforms them.
Peter Drucker
If socialism is defined as ownership of the means of production--and this is both the orthodox and the only rigorous definition--then the United States is the first truly Socialist country.
Peter Drucker
Keep your eye on the task, not on yourself. The task matters, and you are a servant
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
The enterprise can fulfill its human and social functions only if it prospers as a business.
Peter Drucker
The subordinate's job is not to reform or reeducate the boss, not to make him conform to what the business schools or the management book say bosses should be like. It is to enable a particular boss to perform as a unique individual.
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
The job of a professional manager is not to like people. It is not to change people. It is to put their strengths to work.
Peter Drucker
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
Peter Drucker
Providing more desirable products, services, and customer experiences is vital to the continued existence of any business. And that is INNOVATION.
Peter Drucker
The only industries that function well are the industries that take responsibility for training. The Japanese, you know, assume that when you first come to work you know absolutely nothing. School isn't preparation for work and never was.
Peter Drucker
Management means, in the last analysis, the substitution of thought for brawn and muscle, of knowledge for folkways and superstition, and of cooperation for force. It means the substitution of responsibility for obedience to rank, and of authority of performance for the authority of rank.
Peter Drucker
The tool user, provided the tool is made well, need not, and indeed should not, know anything about the tool.
Peter Drucker
The corporation is the master, the employee is the servant. Because the corporation owns the means of production without which the employee could not make a living, the employee needs the corporation more than vice versa.
Peter Drucker
