More quotes by Peter Drucker
Everything requires time. It is the only truly universal condition. All work takes place in time and uses up time. Yet most people take for granted this unique, irreplaceable, and necessary resource. Nothing else, perhaps, distinguishes effective executives as much as their tender loving care of time.
Peter Drucker
Capitalism is being attacked not because it is inefficient or misgoverned but because it is cynical. And indeed a society based on the assertion that private vices become public benefits cannot endure, no matter how impeccable its logic, no matter how great its benefits.
Peter Drucker
Any organisation develops people it either forms them or deforms them.
Peter Drucker
Profit is not the explanation, cause, or rationale of business behavior and business decisions, but the test of their validity.
Peter Drucker
The problem in my life and other people's lives is not the absence of knowing what to do but the absence of doing it.
Peter Drucker
A fundamental responsibility of leadership is make sure that everybody knows the mission, understands it, lives it.
Peter Drucker
There are only two things in a business that make money - innovation and marketing, everything else is cost.

Peter Drucker
Increasingly, politics is not about who gets what, when, how but about values, each of them considered to be absolute. Politics is about the right to life...It is about the environment. It is about gaining equality for groups alleged to be oppressed...None of these issues is economic. All are fundamentally moral.
Peter Drucker
The 1st question the effective decision-maker asks is: 'Is this a generic situation or an exception?'
Peter Drucker
If you want it, measure it. If you can't measure it, forget it.
Peter Drucker
True marketing starts...with the customer, his demographics, his realities, his needs, his values. It does not ask, What do we want to sell? It asks, What does the customer want to buy?
Peter Drucker
There are usually half a dozen right answers to what needs to be done. Yet, unless a person makes the risky and controversial choice of only one, he will achieve nothing.
Peter Drucker
Success? Odd as it seems, you will achieve the greates results in business and career if you drop the word 'achievement' from your vocabulary and replace it with 'contribution'.
Peter Drucker
Our most important education system is in the employees' own organization.
Peter Drucker
The productivity of people requires continuous learning, as the Japanese have taught us. It requires adoption in the West of the specific Japanese Zen concept where one learns to do better what one already does well.
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
