More quotes by Peter Drucker
The first step toward making the worker achieving is to make work productive.
Peter Drucker
Plastic moments are those periods that overlap when the old has gone but the new has not yet arrived and when the course of history is more open to being shaped and steered than any other time.
Peter Drucker
One cannot manage change. One can only be ahead of it.
Peter Drucker
Innovation requires us to systematically identify changes that have already occurred in a business - in demographics, in values, in technology or science - and then to look at them as opportunities. It also requires something that is most difficult for existing companies to do: to abandon rather than defend yesterday.
Peter Drucker
The race for Quality has no finish line - so technically, it's more like a death march. Efficiency is doing things right effectiveness is doing the right things.
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
One has to make a decision when a condition is likely to degenerate if nothing is done.
Peter Drucker
The dilemma of modern society: the conflict between the need for capital formation at a high rate and the popular condemnation of interest and dividends as unearned income and capitalist, if not as sinful and wicked.
Peter Drucker
The enterprise, by definition, must be capable of producing more or better than all the resources that comprise it.
Peter Drucker
The honest work of yesterday has lost its social status, its social esteem.
Peter Drucker
Every success creates new opportunities. So does every failure.
Peter Drucker
We live in an age of unprecedented opportunity: If you’ve got ambition and smarts, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession, regardless of where you started out.
Peter Drucker
The most important decisions in organizations are people decisions, and yet only the military, and only recently, has begun to ask, If we assign this general to lead this base, what do we expect him to accomplish?
Peter Drucker
What we are good at comes easy, and we believe that unless it comes hard, it can't be very good.
Peter Drucker
As a rule we perceive what we expect to perceive... The unexpected is usually not received at all.
Peter Drucker
Thus, for those who are willing to go out into the field, to look and to listen, changing demographics is both a highly productive and a highly dependable innovation opportunity.
Peter Drucker
Understanding our strengths, articulating our values, knowing where we belong -- these are also essential to addressing one of the great challenges of organizations: improving the abysmally low productivity of knowledge workers.
Peter Drucker
The only things that evolve by themselves in an organization are disorder, friction and malperformance.
Peter Drucker
You cannot prevent a major catastrophe, but you can build an organization that is battle-ready, where people trust one another. In military training, the first rule is to instill soldiers with trust in their officers - because without trust, they won't fight.
Peter Drucker
