More quotes by Peter Drucker
The single minded ones, the monomaniacs, are the only true achievers
Peter Drucker
Institutions mistake good intentions for objectives. They say health care that's an intention, not an objective.
Peter Drucker
Every single social and global issue of our day is a business opportunity in disguise.
Peter Drucker
Meetings are a symptom of bad organization. The fewer meetings the better.
Peter Drucker
Effective organizations put people in jobs in which they can do the most good. They place people -- and allow people to place themselves -- according to their strengths.
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 concept of profit maximization is, in fact, meaningless.
Peter Drucker
The manager is a servant. His master is the institution he manages and his first responsibility must therefore be to it.
Peter Drucker
The purpose of a business is to create a customer.
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
What can I contribute that will significantly affect the performance and the results of the institution I serve?
Peter Drucker
Every enterprise is learning and teaching institution. Training and development must be built into it on all levels, training and development that never stop.
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
Don't solve problems. Pursue opportunities.
Peter Drucker
There is no perfect strategic decision. One always has to pay a price. One always has to balance conflicting objectives, conflicting opinions, and conflicting priorities. The best strategic decision is only an approximation - and a risk.
Peter Drucker
In todays economy, the most important resource is no longer labor, capital or land it is knowledge
Peter Drucker
The ultimate resource in economic development is people. It is people, not capital or raw materials that develop an economy.
Peter Drucker
[Entrepreneurship] is by no means hunch or gamble. But it also is not precisely science. Rather, it is judgment.
Peter Drucker
If you have too many problems, maybe you should get out of business. There is no law that says a company must last forever.
Peter Drucker
