More quotes by Peter Drucker
Fascism is the result of the collapse of Europe's spiritual and social order... catastrophes broke through the everyday routine which makes men accept existing forms, institutions and tenets as unalterable natural laws. They suddenly exposed the vacuum behind the facade of society.
Peter Drucker
It’s up to you to carve out your place, to know when to change course, and to keep yourself engaged and productive during a work life that may span some 50 years.
Peter Drucker
As with every phenomenon of the objective universe, the first step toward understanding work is to analyze it.
Peter Drucker
Every organization has to prepare for the abandonment of everything it does.
Peter Drucker
We've spent the last 30 years focusing on the T in IT, and we'll spend the next 30 years focusing on the I.
Peter Drucker
Efficiency, which is doing things right, is irrelevant until you work on the right things.
Peter Drucker
The basic economic resource - the means of production - is no longer capital, nor natural resources, nor labor. It is and will be knowledge.
Peter Drucker
Managing innovation will increasingly become a challenge to management, and especially to top management, and a touchstone of its competence.
Peter Drucker
What gets measured gets managed.
Peter Drucker
Now that knowledge is taking the place of capital as the driving force in organizations worldwide, it is all too easy to confuse data with knowledge and information technology with information.
Peter Drucker
I find more and more executives less and less well informed about the outside world, if only because they believe that the data on the computer printouts are ipso facto information.
Peter Drucker
There are companies that are good at improving what they're already doing. There are companies that are good at extending what they're doing. And finally there are companies that are good at innovation. Every large company has to be able to do all three - improve, extend, and innovate - simultaneously.
Peter Drucker
Fortunately or unfortunately, the one predictable thing in any organization is the crisis. That always comes. That's when you do depend on the leader: The job of the leader is to build an organization that is battle-ready, that has high morale, that knows how to behave, that trusts itself, and where people trust one another.
Peter Drucker
Vision without execution is delusion. The joy is in the results
Peter Drucker
Adequacy is the enemy of excellence.
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
Leadership is not rank, privileges, title or money. It is responsibility.
Peter Drucker
If the feudal knight was the clearest embodiment of society in the early Middle Ages, and the bourgeois under Capitalism, the educated person will represent society in the post-capitalist society in which knowledge has become the central resource.
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
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
