Peter Drucker
Image
Education can no longer be the sole property of the state.
Peter Drucker
Image
Growth that adds volume without improving productivity is fat. Growth that diminishes productivity is cancer.
Peter Drucker
Image
If the feudal knight was the clearest embodiment of society in the early Middle Ages, and the bourgeois under Capitalism, the educated person will represent society in the post-capitalist society in which knowledge has become the central resource.
Peter Drucker
Image
Ideas are cheap and abundant what is of value is the effective placement of those ideas into situations that develop into action.
Peter Drucker
Image
Time is the scarcest resource and unless it is managed nothing else can be managed.
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
