Never ask who's right. Start out by asking what is right. And you find that out by listening to dissenting, disagreeing opinions.
Peter Drucker

Do the right things instead of trying to do everything right.
Peter Drucker
No other area offers richer opportunities for successful innovation than the unexpected success.

Peter Drucker
One does not start with facts. One starts with opinions.
Peter Drucker
As with every phenomenon of the objective universe, the first step toward understanding work is to analyze it.
Peter Drucker
The ultimate resource in economic development is people. It is people, not capital or raw materials that develop an economy.
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
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
Knowledge has become the key economic resource and the dominant-and perhaps even the only-source of competitive advantage.
Peter Drucker
To make knowledge productive, we will have to learn to see both forest and tree. We will have to learn to connect.
Peter Drucker
