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.

Peter Drucker
Change is the norm unless an organization sees that its task is to lead change, that organization will not survive.
Peter Drucker
Concentration is the key to economic results. No other principle of effectiveness is violated as constantly today as the basic principle of concentration.... Our motto seems to be, Let's do a little bit of everything.
Peter Drucker
Managers are the basic and scarcest resource of any business enterprise.
Peter Drucker
Important decisions are risky. They should be controversial. Acclamation means that nobody has done the homework.
Peter Drucker
Efficiency is doing better what is already being done.
Peter Drucker
