The corporation is the master, the employee is the servant. Because the corporation owns the means of production without which the employee could not make a living, the employee needs the corporation more than vice versa.

More quotes by Peter Drucker
Spontaneity is an infinite number of rehearsed possibilities.
Peter Drucker
A business is not defined by its name, statutes, or articles of incorporation. It is defined by the business mission. Only a clear definition of the mission and purpose of the organization makes possible clear and realistic business objectives.
Peter Drucker
It is willingness of people to give of themselves over and above the demands of the job that distinguishes the great from the merely adequate.
Peter Drucker
The large organization has to learn to innovate, or it won't survive.
Peter Drucker
What's absolutely unforgivable is the financial benefit top management people get for laying off people. There's no excuse for it. No justification. No explanation. This is morally and socially unforgivable, and we'll pay a very nasty price.
Peter Drucker
Nothing else, perhaps, distinguishes effective executives as much as their tender loving care of time.
Peter Drucker
Businesses are not paid to reform customers. They are paid to satisfy customers.
Peter Drucker
If a manager spends more than 10 percent of his time on human relations the group is probably too large.
Peter Drucker
Adversarial power relationships only work if you never have to see or work with the bastards again.
Peter Drucker
Leaders shouldn?t attach moral significance to their ideas: Do that, and you can?t compromise.
Peter Drucker
As with every phenomenon of the objective universe, the first step toward understanding work is to analyze it.
Peter Drucker
What's measured improves
Peter Drucker
Nothing is less productive than to make more efficient what should not be done at all.
Peter Drucker
What we are good at comes easy, and we believe that unless it comes hard, it can't be very good.
Peter Drucker
Profit is not the explanation, cause, or rationale of business behavior and business decisions, but the test of their validity.
Peter Drucker
Do not measure your life by your goals but what you are doing to achieve them.
Peter Drucker
Planning is actually incompatible with an entrepreneurial society and economy. Planning is the kiss of death of entrepreneurship.
Peter Drucker
There are only two things in a business that make money - innovation and marketing, everything else is cost.
Peter Drucker
There's an enormous number of managers who have retired on the job.
Peter Drucker
We always remember best the irrelevant.
Peter Drucker
