More quotes by Peter Drucker
Every single social and global issue of our day is a business opportunity in disguise.
Peter Drucker
No executive has ever suffered because his subordinates were strong and effective.
Peter Drucker
The fewer data needed, the better the information. And an overload of information, that is, anything much beyond what is truly needed, leads to information blackout. It does not enrich, but impoverishes.
Peter Drucker
Teaching 23-year-olds in an MBA programme strikes me as largely a waste of time. They lack the background of experience. You can teach them skills - accounting and what have you - but you can't teach them management.
Peter Drucker
Doing the right thing is more important than doing the thing right.
Peter Drucker
Entrepreneurship is neither a science nor an art. It is a practice.
Peter Drucker
Fortunately or unfortunately, the one predictable thing in any organization is the crisis. That always comes. That's when you do depend on the leader: The job of the leader is to build an organization that is battle-ready, that has high morale, that knows how to behave, that trusts itself, and where people trust one another.
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
The enterprise can fulfill its human and social functions only if it prospers as a business.
Peter Drucker
Effective people are not problem minded they're opportunity-minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems. They think preventively.
Peter Drucker
The most valuable assets of a 20th-century company were its production equipment. The most valuable assets of a 21st-century institution, whether business or nonbusiness, will be its knowledge, workers, and their productivity.
Peter Drucker
Marketing is the distinguishing, unique function of the business.
Peter Drucker
Without institution there is no management. But without management there is no institution.
Peter Drucker
Businesses are not paid to reform customers. They are paid to satisfy customers.
Peter Drucker
There is an unbroken chain of opposition to the introduction of economic freedom and to the capitalist autonomy of the economic sphere... In every case the opposition could only be overcome - peacefully or by force - because of the promise of capitalism to establish equality... That this promise was an illusion we all know.
Peter Drucker
The most effective way to manage change is to create it.
Peter Drucker
The final test of greatness in a CEO is how well he chooses a successor and whether he can step aside and let the successor run the company.
Peter Drucker
One has to make a decision when a condition is likely to degenerate if nothing is done.
Peter Drucker
Company cultures are like country cultures. Never try to change one. Try, instead, to work with what you've got.
Peter Drucker
A primary task of management in the developed countries in the decades ahead will be to make knowledge productive.
Peter Drucker
