More quotes by Peter Drucker
The new information technology... Internet and e-mail... have practically eliminated the physical costs of communications.
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
One does not manage people. The task is to lead people.
Peter Drucker
Objectives can be compared to a compass bearing by which a ship navigates. A compass bearing is firm, but in actual navigation, a ship may veer off its course for many miles. Without a compass bearing, a ship would neither find its port nor be able to estimate the time required to get there.
Peter Drucker
All good strategy eventually degenerates into work.
Peter Drucker
It takes far less energy to move from first-rate performance to excellence than it does to move from incompetence to mediocrity.
Peter Drucker
Customers pay only for what is of use to them and gives them value. Nothing else constitutes quality.
Peter Drucker
The fruit of your work grows on other people's trees
Peter Drucker
The only things that evolve by themselves in an organization are disorder, friction and malperformance.
Peter Drucker
To arrive at the definition of the problem he must begin by finding the 'critical factor'. This is the element (or elements) in the situation that has to be changed before anything else can be changed, moved, acted upon.
Peter Drucker
The Pertinent Question is NOT how to do things right - but how to find the right things to do, and to concentrate resources and efforts on them.
Peter Drucker
Leaders shouldn?t attach moral significance to their ideas: Do that, and you can?t compromise.
Peter Drucker
We've spent the last 30 years focusing on the T in IT, and we'll spend the next 30 years focusing on the I.
Peter Drucker
The tool user, provided the tool is made well, need not, and indeed should not, know anything about the tool.
Peter Drucker
The society of organizations is new-only seventy years ago employees were a small minority in every society.
Peter Drucker
Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.
Peter Drucker
We no longer even understand the question whether change is by itself good or bad, ...We start out with the axiom that it is the norm. We do not see change as altering the order... We see change as being order itself - indeed the only order we can comprehend today is a dynamic, a moving, a changing one.
Peter Drucker
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
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
Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.
Peter Drucker
