More quotes by Peter Drucker
A success that has outlived its usefulness may, in the end, be more damaging than failure.
Peter Drucker
Promotion should not be more important than accomplishment, or avoiding instability more important than taking the right risk.
Peter Drucker
Capitalism is being attacked not because it is inefficient or misgoverned but because it is cynical. And indeed a society based on the assertion that private vices become public benefits cannot endure, no matter how impeccable its logic, no matter how great its benefits.
Peter Drucker
Plans are worthless, but planning is invaluable.
Peter Drucker
The large organization has to learn to innovate, or it won't survive.
Peter Drucker
The worker's effectiveness is determined largely by the way he is being managed.
Peter Drucker
The experience of the human race indicates strongly that the only person in abundant supply is the universal incompetent.
Peter Drucker
The productivity of work is not the responsibility of the worker but of the manager.
Peter Drucker
Everything must degenerate into work if anything is to happen.
Peter Drucker
No single piece of macroeconomic advice given by the experts to their government has ever had the results predicted.
Peter Drucker
The fruit of your work grows on other people's trees
Peter Drucker
Because its purpose is to create a customer, the business enterprise has two - and only these two — basic functions: marketing and innovation. Marketing and innovation produce results all the rest are 'costs'.
Peter Drucker
People who need certainty are unlikely to make good entrepreneurs.
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
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.
Peter Drucker
What we are good at comes easy, and we believe that unless it comes hard, it can't be very good.
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 individual is the central, rarest, most precious capital resource of our society.
Peter Drucker
Adequacy is the enemy of excellence.
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.
