More quotes by Peter Drucker
If you want it, measure it. If you can't measure it, forget it.
Peter Drucker
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
A man should never be appointed into a managerial position if his vision focuses on people's weaknesses rather than on their strengths.
Peter Drucker
Decisions of the kind the executive has to make are not made well by acclamation. They are made well only if based on the clash of conflicting views...The first rule in decision-making is that one does not make a decision unless there is disagreement.
Peter Drucker
In a rural society communities are given for the individual. Community is a fact, whether family or religion, social class or caste.
Peter Drucker
The more successful the unit, the more difficult it is to make sure that the large company doesn't put the same expectations on it as it does for the rest of the company. When it's a new venture, whether it's outside or inside the business, it's a child. And you don't put a 40-pound pack on a 6-year-old's back when you take her hiking.
Peter Drucker

The most effective way to manage change is to create it.
Peter Drucker
If you're not living life on the edge, you're taking up too much space. The best way to predict the future is to create it.
Peter Drucker
Without institution there is no management. But without management there is no institution.
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
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
Keep your eye on the task, not on yourself. The task matters, and you are a servant
Peter Drucker
Absolute size by itself is no indicator of success and achievement, let alone of managerial competence. Being the right size is.
Peter Drucker
Spontaneity is an infinite number of rehearsed possibilities.
Peter Drucker
Success in the knowledge economy comes to those who know themselves - their strengths, their values, and how they best perform.
Peter Drucker
Don't solve problems. Pursue opportunities.
Peter Drucker
