More quotes by Peter Drucker
Profit is not a cause but a result-
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.
Peter Drucker
Political freedom is neither easy nor automatic, neither pleasant nor secure. It is the responsibility of the individual for the decisions of society as if they were his own decisions-as in moral truth and accountability they are.
Peter Drucker
Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.
Peter Drucker
The only industries that function well are the industries that take responsibility for training. The Japanese, you know, assume that when you first come to work you know absolutely nothing. School isn't preparation for work and never was.
Peter Drucker
There are usually half a dozen right answers to what needs to be done. Yet, unless a person makes the risky and controversial choice of only one, he will achieve nothing.
Peter Drucker
The first step toward making the worker achieving is to make work productive.
Peter Drucker
Nobody can predict the future the idea is to have a firm grasp of the present.

Peter Drucker
The large organization has to learn to innovate, or it won't survive.
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
Company cultures are like country cultures. Never try to change one. Try, instead, to work with what you've got.
Peter Drucker
The 1st question the effective decision-maker asks is: 'Is this a generic situation or an exception?'
Peter Drucker
That the government's power under the Taft-Hartley Act to stop a strike by injunction so clearly strengthens the hand of the employer-even though it is used only when a strike threatens the national health, welfare, or safety-is a grave blemish and explains much of union resistance to the Act.
Peter Drucker
The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well the product or service fits him and sells itself.
Peter Drucker
Business purpose and business mission are so rarely given adequate thought is perhaps the most important cause of business frustration and failure.
Peter Drucker
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
Organizationally what is required - and evolving - is systems management.
Peter Drucker
There is the general belief that the corporation income tax is a tax on the rich and on the fat cats. But with pension funds owning 30% of American large business-and soon to own 50%-the corporation income tax, in effect, eases the load on those in top income brackets and penalizes the beneficiaries of pension funds.
Peter Drucker
I find more and more executives less and less well informed about the outside world, if only because they believe that the data on the computer printouts are ipso facto information.
Peter Drucker
