More quotes by Peter Drucker
An organization which just perpetuates today's level of vision, excellence, and accomplishment has lost the capacity to adapt.
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
Success always obsoletes the very behavior that achieved it.
Peter Drucker
We have only one alternative: either to build a functioning industrial society or see freedom itself disappear in anarchy and tyranny.
Peter Drucker
Every few hundred years in Western history there occurs a sharp transformation. Within a few short decades, society - its worldview, its basic values, its social and political structures, its art, its key institutions - rearranges itself. We are currently living through such a time.
Peter Drucker
The greatest change in corporate culture - and the way business is being conducted - may be the accelerated growth of relationships based... on partnership.
Peter Drucker
Planning is actually incompatible with an entrepreneurial society and economy. Planning is the kiss of death of entrepreneurship.
Peter Drucker
Fascism is the result of the collapse of Europe's spiritual and social order... catastrophes broke through the everyday routine which makes men accept existing forms, institutions and tenets as unalterable natural laws. They suddenly exposed the vacuum behind the facade of society.
Peter Drucker
The worker's effectiveness is determined largely by the way he is being managed.
Peter Drucker
The question that faces the strategic decision maker is not what his organisation should do tomorrow. It is, what do we have to do today to be ready for an uncertain tomorrow?
Peter Drucker
As a manager you're paid to be uncomfortable. If you're comfortable, it's a sure sign you're doing things wrong.
Peter Drucker
Efficiency, which is doing things right, is irrelevant until you work on the right things.
Peter Drucker
(Waste = Loss): The first rule of business is to survive and the guiding principle of business economics is not the maximisation of profit, it is the avoidance of loss
Peter Drucker
Everything requires time. It is the only truly universal condition. All work takes place in time and uses up time. Yet most people take for granted this unique, irreplaceable, and necessary resource. Nothing else, perhaps, distinguishes effective executives as much as their tender loving care of time.
Peter Drucker
One cannot manage change. One can only be ahead of it.
Peter Drucker
Any organisation develops people it either forms them or deforms them.
Peter Drucker
It’s up to you to carve out your place, to know when to change course, and to keep yourself engaged and productive during a work life that may span some 50 years.
Peter Drucker
There is no perfect strategic decision. One always has to pay a price. One always has to balance conflicting objectives, conflicting opinions, and conflicting priorities. The best strategic decision is only an approximation - and a risk.
Peter Drucker
The society of organizations is new-only seventy years ago employees were a small minority in every society.
Peter Drucker
What can I contribute that will significantly affect the performance and the results of the institution I serve?
