More quotes by Peter Drucker
The really important things are said over cocktails and are never done.
Peter Drucker
We live in an age of unprecedented opportunity: If you’ve got ambition and smarts, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession, regardless of where you started out.
Peter Drucker
In todays economy, the most important resource is no longer labor, capital or land it is knowledge
Peter Drucker
Meetings are a symptom of bad organization. The fewer meetings the better.
Peter Drucker
The days of the 'intuitive' manager are numbered.
Peter Drucker
Elephants have a hard time adapting. Cockroaches outlive everything.
Peter Drucker
True marketing starts...with the customer, his demographics, his realities, his needs, his values. It does not ask, What do we want to sell? It asks, What does the customer want to buy?
Peter Drucker
Managing innovation will increasingly become a challenge to management, and especially to top management, and a touchstone of its competence.
Peter Drucker
The true business of every company is to make and keep customers.
Peter Drucker
Communism is evil. Its driving forces are the deadly sins of envy and hatred.
Peter Drucker
Too many leaders try to do a little bit of 25 things and get nothing done. They are very popular because they always say yes. But they get nothing done.
Peter Drucker
The productivity of work is not the responsibility of the worker but of the manager.
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
Of all the decisions an executive makes, none is as important as the decisions about people, because they determine the performance capacity of the organization.
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
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
The job of a professional manager is not to like people. It is not to change people. It is to put their strengths to work.
Peter Drucker
Loafing is easy, but leisure is difficult.
Peter Drucker
The single most important thing to remember about any enterprise is that results exist only on the outside.The result of a business is a satisfied customer. The result of a hospital is a satisfied patient. The result of a school is a student who has learned something and puts it to work ten years later. Inside an enterprise there are only costs.
Peter Drucker
The company is not and must never claim to be home, family, religion, life or fate for the individual. It must never interfere in his private life or his citizenship. He is tied to the company through a voluntary and cancellable employment contract, not through some mystical or indissoluble bond.
Peter Drucker
