The most important decisions in organizations are people decisions, and yet only the military, and only recently, has begun to ask, If we assign this general to lead this base, what do we expect him to accomplish?
Peter Drucker

We no longer even understand the question whether change is by itself good or bad, ...We start out with the axiom that it is the norm. We do not see change as altering the order... We see change as being order itself - indeed the only order we can comprehend today is a dynamic, a moving, a changing one.
Peter Drucker

Fortunately or unfortunately, the one predictable thing in any organization is the crisis. That always comes. That's when you do depend on the leader: The job of the leader is to build an organization that is battle-ready, that has high morale, that knows how to behave, that trusts itself, and where people trust one another.

If a manager spends more than 10 percent of his time on human relations the group is probably too large.
Peter Drucker
Image
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
Image
If socialism is defined as ownership of the means of production--and this is both the orthodox and the only rigorous definition--then the United States is the first truly Socialist country.
Peter Drucker
Image
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

The problem in my life and other people's lives is not the absence of knowing what to do but the absence of doing it.

The enterprise that does not innovate ages and declines. And in a period of rapid change such as the present, the decline will be fast.

Adversarial power relationships only work if you never have to see or work with the bastards again.
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.

Keep your eye on the task, not on yourself. The task matters, and you are a servant
