More quotes by Peter Drucker
All companies are service companies some also manufacture products.
Peter Drucker
What is the major problem? It is fundamentally the confusion between effectiveness and efficiency that stands between doing the right things and doing things right. There is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency what should not be done at all.
Peter Drucker
Tomorrow always arrives. It is always different. And even the mightiest company is in trouble if it has not worked on the future. Being surprised by what happens is a risk that even the largest and richest company cannot afford, and even the smallest business need not run.
Peter Drucker
You can either take action, or you can hang back and hope for a miracle. Miracles are great, but they are so unpredictable.
Peter Drucker
It's amazing how many things busy people are doing that never will be missed.
Peter Drucker
Growth that adds volume without improving productivity is fat. Growth that diminishes productivity is cancer.
Peter Drucker
[Entrepreneurship] is by no means hunch or gamble. But it also is not precisely science. Rather, it is judgment.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
Efficiency, which is doing things right, is irrelevant until you work on the right things.
Peter Drucker
Without institution there is no management. But without management there is no institution.
Peter Drucker
One has to make a decision when a condition is likely to degenerate if nothing is done.
Peter Drucker
An employer has no business with a man's personality... The task is not to change personality, but to enable a person to achieve and to perform.
Peter Drucker
If you have too many problems, maybe you should get out of business. There is no law that says a company must last forever.
Peter Drucker
Every organization must be prepared to abandon everything it does to survive in the future.
Peter Drucker
The first step toward making the worker achieving is to make work productive.
Peter Drucker
The world economy is not yet a community--not even an economic community...Yet the existence of the global shopping center is a fact that cannot be undone. The vision of an economy for all will not be forgotten again.
Peter Drucker
When it rains manna from heaven, some people put up an umbrella. Others reach for a big spoon.
Peter Drucker
We can't make people better by trying to eliminate their weaknesses, but we can help then perform better by building on their strengths.
Peter Drucker
Thus, for those who are willing to go out into the field, to look and to listen, changing demographics is both a highly productive and a highly dependable innovation opportunity.
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
