More quotes by Peter Drucker

Image
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
Image
Accept the fact that we have to treat almost anybody as a volunteer.
Peter Drucker
Image
One does not manage people. The task is to lead people.
Peter Drucker
Image
Mission defines strategy, and strategy defines structure.
Peter Drucker
Image
For new technology to replace old, it has to have at least ten times the benefit.
Peter Drucker
Image
The most important, and indeed the truly unique, contribution of management in the 20th century was the fifty-fold increase in the productivity of the MANUAL WORKER in manufacturing. The most important contribution management needs to make in the 21st century is similarly to increase the productivity of KNOWLEDGE WORK and the KNOWLEDGE WORKER.

Peter Drucker
Image
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

In a rural society communities are given for the individual. Community is a fact, whether family or religion, social class or caste.
Peter Drucker
Image
The enterprise can fulfill its human and social functions only if it prospers as a business.
Peter Drucker
Image
If a business is to be considered a continuous process, instead of a series of disjointed stop-and-go events, then the economic universe in which a business operates-and all the major events within it-must have rhyme, rhythm, or reason.
Peter Drucker
Image
Managing innovation will increasingly become a challenge to management, and especially to top management, and a touchstone of its competence.
Peter Drucker
Image
Nothing is less productive than to make more efficient what should not be done at all.
Peter Drucker
Image
To make a living is no longer enough. Work also has to make a life.
Peter Drucker
Image
If general perception changes from seeing the glass as 'half-full' to seeing it as 'half empty' there are major innovative opportunities.
Peter Drucker
Image
Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.
Peter Drucker
Image
There's no such thing as knowledge management there are only knowledgeable people. Information only becomes knowledge in the hands of someone who knows what to do with it.
Peter Drucker
Image
Cultivate a deep understanding of yourself - not only what your strengths and weaknesses are but also how you learn, how you work with others, what your values are, and where you can make the greatest contribution. Because only when you operate from strengths can you achieve true excellence.
Peter Drucker

Don't try to innovate for the future. Innovate for the present!
