More quotes by Peter Drucker
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
There are two types of people in the business community: those who produce results and those who give you reasons why they didn't.
Peter Drucker
To make knowledge productive, we will have to learn to see both forest and tree. We will have to learn to connect.
Peter Drucker
Universities won't survive. The future is outside the traditional campus, outside the traditional classroom. Distance learning is coming on fast.
Peter Drucker
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
Ideas are like frog eggs: you've got to lay a thousand to hatch one.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
The relevant question is not simply what shall we do tomorrow, but rather what shall we do today in order to get ready for tomorrow.
Peter Drucker
The really important things are said over cocktails and are never done.
Peter Drucker
Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.
Peter Drucker
We live in an age of unprecedented opportunity: If you’ve got ambition and smarts, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession, regardless of where you started out.
Peter Drucker
Systematic change requires a willingness to look on change as an opportunity.
Peter Drucker
Organizationally what is required - and evolving - is systems management.
Peter Drucker
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
Follow effective action with quiet reflection.
Peter Drucker
We know nothing about motivation. All we can do is write books about it.
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
You cannot prevent a major catastrophe, but you can build an organization that is battle-ready, where people trust one another. In military training, the first rule is to instill soldiers with trust in their officers - because without trust, they won't fight.
Peter Drucker
