More quotes by Peter Drucker
We have only one alternative: either to build a functioning industrial society or see freedom itself disappear in anarchy and tyranny.
Peter Drucker
Successful careers are not planned. They develop when people are prepared for opportunities because they know their strengths, their method of work, and their values. Knowing where one belongs can transform an ordinary person - hardworking and competent but otherwise mediocre - into an outstanding performer.
Peter Drucker
When a resource is scarce, you increase its yield.
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 new information technology... Internet and e-mail... have practically eliminated the physical costs of communications.
Peter Drucker
An effective executive builds on strengths - their own strengths, the strengths of superiors, colleagues, subordinates, and on the strength of the situation.
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
Strong people have strong weaknesses.
Peter Drucker
Success always obsoletes the very behavior that achieved it.
Peter Drucker
Plastic moments are those periods that overlap when the old has gone but the new has not yet arrived and when the course of history is more open to being shaped and steered than any other time.
Peter Drucker
Defending yesterday is far more risky than making tomorrow.
Peter Drucker
The question that faces the strategic decision maker is not what his organisation should do tomorrow. It is, what do we have to do today to be ready for an uncertain tomorrow?
Peter Drucker
The essence of management is to make knowledge productive.
Peter Drucker
No one has ever failed to find the facts they are looking for.
Peter Drucker
In a rural society communities are given for the individual. Community is a fact, whether family or religion, social class or caste.
Peter Drucker
The days of the 'intuitive' manager are numbered.
Peter Drucker
There is one qualification the manager cannot acquire but must bring to the task. It is not genius it is character.
Peter Drucker
Organizationally what is required - and evolving - is systems management.
Peter Drucker
What is the major problem? It is fundamentally the confusion between effectiveness and efficiency that stands between doing the right things and doing things right. There is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency what should not be done at all.
Peter Drucker
The really important things are said over cocktails and are never done.
Peter Drucker
