More quotes by Peter Drucker
Without institution there is no management. But without management there is no institution.
Peter Drucker
Successful people know they need to get many things done-and done effectively. Therefore, they concentrate their time and energy on doing one thing at a time-and on doing first things firs.
Peter Drucker
Most people think they know what they are good at. They are usually wrong... And yet, a person can perform only from strength.
Peter Drucker
Here I am, fifty-eight, and I still don't know what I'm going to be when I grow up.
Peter Drucker
The moment people talk of implementing instead of doing, and of finalizing instead of finishing, the organization is already running a fever.
Peter Drucker
The individual needs the return to spiritual values, for he can survive in the present human situation only by reaffirming that man is not just a biological and psychological being but also a spiritual being, that is creature, and existing for the purposes of his Creator and subject to Him.
Peter Drucker
More business decisions occur over lunch and dinner than at any other time, yet no MBA courses are given on the subject.
Peter Drucker
If a manager spends more than 10 percent of his time on human relations the group is probably too large.
Peter Drucker
Some of the best business and nonprofit CEOs I've worked with over a sixty-five-year consulting career were not stereotypical leaders. They were all over the map in terms of their personalities, attitudes, values, strengths, and weaknesses.
Peter Drucker
Most of what you hear about entrepreneurshi p is all wrong. It's not magic it's not mysterious and it has nothing to do with genes. It's a discipline and, like any discipline, it can be learned.
Peter Drucker
The days of the 'intuitive' manager are numbered.
Peter Drucker
There's no such thing as knowledge management there are only knowledgeable people. Information only becomes knowledge in the hands of someone who knows what to do with it.
Peter Drucker
Salvation by society failed the most where it promised the most, in the communist countries. But it also failed in the West. Practically no government program enacted since the 1950s in the Western world - or in the communist countries - has been successful.
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
Successful careers are not planned. They develop when people are prepared for opportunities because they know their strengths, their method of work, and their values. Knowing where one belongs can transform an ordinary person - hardworking and competent but otherwise mediocre - into an outstanding performer.
Peter Drucker
There are two types of people in the business community: those who produce results and those who give you reasons why they didn't.
Peter Drucker
One cannot hire a hand the whole man always comes with it.
Peter Drucker
There is nothing worse than doing the wrong thing well.
Peter Drucker
Businesses are not paid to reform customers. They are paid to satisfy customers.
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
