More quotes by Peter Drucker
It takes far less energy to move from first-rate performance to excellence than it does to move from incompetence to mediocrity.
Peter Drucker
Any organisation develops people it either forms them or deforms them.
Peter Drucker
Every organization must be prepared to abandon everything it does to survive in the future.
Peter Drucker
A fundamental responsibility of leadership is make sure that everybody knows the mission, understands it, lives it.
Peter Drucker
We always remember best the irrelevant.
Peter Drucker
There is an unbroken chain of opposition to the introduction of economic freedom and to the capitalist autonomy of the economic sphere... In every case the opposition could only be overcome - peacefully or by force - because of the promise of capitalism to establish equality... That this promise was an illusion we all know.
Peter Drucker
Time is the scarcest resource.
Peter Drucker
Managers are the basic and scarcest resource of any business enterprise.
Peter Drucker
We can't make people better by trying to eliminate their weaknesses, but we can help then perform better by building on their strengths.
Peter Drucker
Vision without execution is delusion. The joy is in the results
Peter Drucker
Salvation by society failed the most where it promised the most, in the communist countries. But it also failed in the West. Practically no government program enacted since the 1950s in the Western world - or in the communist countries - has been successful.
Peter Drucker
What's measured improves
Peter Drucker
Knowledge is power, which is why people who had it in the past often tried to make a secret of it. In post-capitalism, power comes from transmitting information to make it productive, not from hiding it.
Peter Drucker
Since we live in an age of innovation, a practical education must prepare a man for work that does not yet exist and cannot yet be clearly defined.
Peter Drucker
Everything must degenerate into work if anything is to happen.
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
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
The ultimate resource in economic development is people. It is people, not capital or raw materials that develop an economy.
Peter Drucker
The really important things are said over cocktails and are never done.
Peter Drucker
Every few hundred years in Western history there occurs a sharp transformation. Within a few short decades, society - its worldview, its basic values, its social and political structures, its art, its key institutions - rearranges itself. We are currently living through such a time.
