More quotes by Peter Drucker
Every organization must be prepared to abandon everything it does to survive in the future.
Peter Drucker
[Entrepreneurship] is by no means hunch or gamble. But it also is not precisely science. Rather, it is judgment.
Peter Drucker
The essence of management is to make knowledge productive.
Peter Drucker
There's nothing so useless than executing a task efficiently when it actually never should have been executed at all.
Peter Drucker
Ideas are cheap and abundant what is of value is the effective placement of those ideas into situations that develop into action.
Peter Drucker
If a business is to be considered a continuous process, instead of a series of disjointed stop-and-go events, then the economic universe in which a business operates-and all the major events within it-must have rhyme, rhythm, or reason.
Peter Drucker
What can I contribute that will significantly affect the performance and the results of the institution I serve?
Peter Drucker
Nothing is less productive than to make more efficient what should not be done at all.
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
Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.
Peter Drucker
Everything must degenerate into work if anything is to happen.
Peter Drucker
Management means, in the last analysis, the substitution of thought for brawn and muscle, of knowledge for folkways and superstition, and of cooperation for force. It means the substitution of responsibility for obedience to rank, and of authority of performance for the authority of rank.
Peter Drucker
The greatest change in corporate culture - and the way business is being conducted - may be the accelerated growth of relationships based... on partnership.
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
There are no creeds in mathematics.
Peter Drucker
An organization which just perpetuates today's level of vision, excellence, and accomplishment has lost the capacity to adapt.
Peter Drucker
The worker's effectiveness is determined largely by the way he is being managed.
Peter Drucker
Most of what you hear about entrepreneurshi p is all wrong. It's not magic it's not mysterious and it has nothing to do with genes. It's a discipline and, like any discipline, it can be learned.
Peter Drucker
Executives owe it to the organization and to their fellow workers not to tolerate nonperforming individuals in important jobs.
Peter Drucker
In the modern corporation the decisive power, that of the managers , is derived from no one but the managers themselves controlled by nobody and nothing and responsible to no one. It is in the most literal sense unfounded, unjustified, uncontrolled and irresponsible power.
Peter Drucker
