Knowing where one belongs can transform an ordinary person - hardworking and competent but otherwise mediocre - into an outstanding performer.
Peter Drucker
To make the future demands courage. It demands work. But it also demands faith.
Peter Drucker
Promotion should not be more important than accomplishment, or avoiding instability more important than taking the right risk.
Peter Drucker
The job of a professional manager is not to like people. It is not to change people. It is to put their strengths to work.
Peter Drucker
Too many leaders try to do a little bit of 25 things and get nothing done. They are very popular because they always say yes. But they get nothing done.
Peter Drucker
Ideas are like frog eggs: you've got to lay a thousand to hatch one.
Peter Drucker
Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.
Peter Drucker
