More quotes by Peter Drucker

It also requires something that is most difficult for existing companies to do: to abandon rather than defend yesterday.
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
Elephants have a hard time adapting. Cockroaches outlive everything.
Peter Drucker
The enterprise that does not innovate ages and declines. And in a period of rapid change such as the present, the decline will be fast.
Peter Drucker
We do not need more laws . No country suffers from a shortage of laws. We need a new model .
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
The company is not and must never claim to be home, family, religion, life or fate for the individual. It must never interfere in his private life or his citizenship. He is tied to the company through a voluntary and cancellable employment contract, not through some mystical or indissoluble bond.
Peter Drucker
An employer has no business with a man's personality... The task is not to change personality, but to enable a person to achieve and to perform.
Peter Drucker
In a rural society communities are given for the individual. Community is a fact, whether family or religion, social class or caste.
Peter Drucker
Without institution there is no management. But without management there is no institution.
Peter Drucker
(Waste = Loss): The first rule of business is to survive and the guiding principle of business economics is not the maximisation of profit, it is the avoidance of loss
Peter Drucker
People who need certainty are unlikely to make good entrepreneurs.
Peter Drucker
There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.
Peter Drucker
To make the future demands courage. It demands work. But it also demands faith.
Peter Drucker
If a manager spends more than 10 percent of his time on human relations the group is probably too large.
Peter Drucker
Success? Odd as it seems, you will achieve the greates results in business and career if you drop the word 'achievement' from your vocabulary and replace it with 'contribution'.
Peter Drucker
And no matter how serious an environmental problem the automobile poses in today's big city, the horse was dirtier, smelled worse, killed and maimed more people, and congested the streets just as much.
Peter Drucker
