More quotes by 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
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
Universities won't survive. The future is outside the traditional campus, outside the traditional classroom. Distance learning is coming on fast.
Peter Drucker
No one has ever failed to find the facts they are looking for.
Peter Drucker
Knowledge is power, which is why people who had it in the past often tried to make a secret of it. In post-capitalism, power comes from transmitting information to make it productive, not from hiding it.
Peter Drucker
The single minded ones, the monomaniacs, are the only true achievers
Peter Drucker
A manager is responsible for the application and performance of knowledge.
Peter Drucker
With Christianity, freedom and equality became the two basic concepts of Europe they are themselves Europe.
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
Objectives are not commands they are commitments.
Peter Drucker
You cannot prevent a major catastrophe, but you can build an organization that is battle-ready, where people trust one another. In military training, the first rule is to instill soldiers with trust in their officers - because without trust, they won't fight.
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.
Peter Drucker
No one learns as much about a subject as one who is forced to teach it.
Peter Drucker
Never ask who's right. Start out by asking what is right. And you find that out by listening to dissenting, disagreeing opinions.
Peter Drucker
Nobody in the world is as good at making decisions as the Japanese.
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
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
An effective executive builds on strengths - their own strengths, the strengths of superiors, colleagues, subordinates, and on the strength of the situation.
Peter Drucker
Effective people are not problem minded they're opportunity-minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems. They think preventively.
Peter Drucker
Conductors do not know how the oboe does its work, but they know what the oboe should contribute.
Peter Drucker
