In the Western tradition, we have focused on teaching as a skill and forgotten what Socrates knew: teaching is a gift, learning is a skill.
Peter Drucker
Image
We have tried to substitute mass for purpose. We have tried to regain military potency of defense by making it gigantic, unwieldy, complex. It never works.

Peter Drucker
Image
The only things that evolve by themselves in an organization are disorder, friction and malperformance.
Peter Drucker
Image
Through systematic terror, through indoctrination, through systematic manipulation of stimulus, reward, and punishment, we can today break man and convert him into brute animal... The first step toward survival is therefore to make government legitimate again by attempting to deprive it of these powers... by international action to ban such powers.
Peter Drucker
Image
A success that has outlived its usefulness may, in the end, be more damaging than failure.
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
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
To arrive at the definition of the problem he must begin by finding the 'critical factor'. This is the element (or elements) in the situation that has to be changed before anything else can be changed, moved, acted upon.
Peter Drucker
Image
What people in business think they know about the customer and market is likely to be more wrong than right...the customer rarely buys what the business thinks it sells him.
