More quotes by Peter Drucker
Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.
Peter Drucker
There is the general belief that the corporation income tax is a tax on the rich and on the fat cats. But with pension funds owning 30% of American large business-and soon to own 50%-the corporation income tax, in effect, eases the load on those in top income brackets and penalizes the beneficiaries of pension funds.
Peter Drucker
Nobody in the world is as good at making decisions as the Japanese.
Peter Drucker
Most discussions of decision making assume that only senior executives make decisions or that only senior executives' decisions matter. This is a dangerous mistake.
Peter Drucker
Promotion should not be more important than accomplishment, or avoiding instability more important than taking the right risk.
Peter Drucker
Leadership is all about getting results.
Peter Drucker
I would hope that American managers-indeed, managers worldwide-continue to appreciate what I have been saying almost from day one: that management is so much more than exercising rank and privilege, that it is much more than making deals. Management affects people and their lives.
Peter Drucker
Every single social and global issue of our day is a business opportunity in disguise.
Peter Drucker
(Waste = Loss): The first rule of business is to survive and the guiding principle of business economics is not the maximisation of profit, it is the avoidance of loss
Peter Drucker
Time is the scarcest resource and unless it is managed nothing else can be managed.
Peter Drucker
The computer, being a mechanical moron, can handle only quantifiable data.
Peter Drucker
The worker's effectiveness is determined largely by the way he is being managed.
Peter Drucker
Our job in life is to make a positive difference, not prove we're right.
Peter Drucker
What gets measured gets managed.
Peter Drucker
No single piece of macroeconomic advice given by the experts to their government has ever had the results predicted.
Peter Drucker
If you want it, measure it. If you can't measure it, forget it.
Peter Drucker
Everything requires time. It is the only truly universal condition. All work takes place in time and uses up time. Yet most people take for granted this unique, irreplaceable, and necessary resource. Nothing else, perhaps, distinguishes effective executives as much as their tender loving care of time.
Peter Drucker
There are only two things in a business that make money - innovation and marketing, everything else is cost.
Peter Drucker
The most effective way to manage change is to create it.
Peter Drucker
With Christianity, freedom and equality became the two basic concepts of Europe they are themselves Europe.
Peter Drucker
