More quotes by Peter Drucker
Inside an organization there are only cost centers. The only profit center is a customer whose check has not bounced.
Peter Drucker
Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.
Peter Drucker
The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well the product or service fits him and sells itself.
Peter Drucker
Don't take on things you don't believe in and that you yourself are not good at. Learn to say no. Effective leaders match the objective needs of their company with the subjective competencies. As a result, they get an enormous amount of things done fast.
Peter Drucker
Many studies of research scientists have shown that achievement (at least below the genius level of an Einstein, Bohr, or a Planck) depends less on ability in doing research than on the courage to go after opportunity.
Peter Drucker
Tomorrow always arrives. It is always different. And even the mightiest company is in trouble if it has not worked on the future. Being surprised by what happens is a risk that even the largest and richest company cannot afford, and even the smallest business need not run.
Peter Drucker
The task of leadership is to create an alignment of strengths so strong that it makes the system's weaknesses irrelevant.
Peter Drucker
Institutions mistake good intentions for objectives. They say health care that's an intention, not an objective.
Peter Drucker
Planning is actually incompatible with an entrepreneurial society and economy. Planning is the kiss of death of entrepreneurship.
Peter Drucker
The strength of the computer lies in its being a logic machine. It does precisely what it is programed to do. This makes it fast and precise. It also makes it a total moron for logic is essentially stupid.
Peter Drucker
A business is not defined by its name, statutes, or articles of incorporation. It is defined by the business mission. Only a clear definition of the mission and purpose of the organization makes possible clear and realistic business objectives.
Peter Drucker
Leadership is all about getting results.
Peter Drucker
The individual is the central, rarest, most precious capital resource of our society.
Peter Drucker
The purpose of information is not knowledge. It is being able to take the right action.
Peter Drucker
The new information technology... Internet and e-mail... have practically eliminated the physical costs of communications.
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
No one learns as much about a subject as one who is forced to teach it.
Peter Drucker
Leadership is lifting a person's vision to high sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.
Peter Drucker
It has been said, and only half in jest, that a tough, professionally led union is a great force for improving management performance. It forces the manager to think about what he is doing and to be able to explain his actions and behavior.
Peter Drucker
Do the right things instead of trying to do everything right.
Peter Drucker
