More quotes by Peter Drucker
Successful leaders don't start out asking, 'What do I want to do?' They ask, 'What needs to be done?' Then they ask, 'Of those things that would make a difference, which are right for me?'
Peter Drucker
Most of what you hear about entrepreneurshi p is all wrong. It's not magic it's not mysterious and it has nothing to do with genes. It's a discipline and, like any discipline, it can be learned.
Peter Drucker
We can ill afford to have activities conducted as non-profit, that is, as activities that devour capital rather than form it, if they can be organized as activities that form capital, as activities that make a profit.
Peter Drucker
The job of a professional manager is not to like people. It is not to change people. It is to put their strengths to work.
Peter Drucker
Leadership is not rank, privileges, title or money. It is responsibility.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
Everybody has accepted by now that change is unavoidable. But that still implies that change is like death and taxes - it should be postponed as long as possible and no change would be vastly preferable. But in a period of upheaval, such as the one we are living in, change is the norm.
Peter Drucker
Every enterprise is learning and teaching institution. Training and development must be built into it on all levels, training and development that never stop.
Peter Drucker
The individual is the central, rarest, most precious capital resource of our society.
Peter Drucker
Use feedback analysis to identify your strengths. Then go to work on improving your strengths. Identify and eliminate bad habits that hinder the full development of your strengths. Figure out what you should do and do it. Finally, decide what you should not do.
Peter Drucker
Important decisions are risky. They should be controversial. Acclamation means that nobody has done the homework.
Peter Drucker
The new information technology... Internet and e-mail... have practically eliminated the physical costs of communications.
Peter Drucker
Culture eats Christianity for breakfast.
Peter Drucker
Success always obsoletes the very behavior that achieved it.
Peter Drucker
Managers are the basic and scarcest resource of any business enterprise.
Peter Drucker
