More quotes by Peter Drucker
No one learns as much about a subject as one who is forced to teach it.
Peter Drucker
The individual is the central, rarest, most precious capital resource of our society.
Peter Drucker
A primary task of management in the developed countries in the decades ahead will be to make knowledge productive.
Peter Drucker
Increasingly, politics is not about who gets what, when, how but about values, each of them considered to be absolute. Politics is about the right to life...It is about the environment. It is about gaining equality for groups alleged to be oppressed...None of these issues is economic. All are fundamentally moral.
Peter Drucker
The most valuable assets of a 20th-century company were its production equipment. The most valuable assets of a 21st-century institution, whether business or nonbusiness, will be its knowledge, workers, and their productivity.
Peter Drucker
No decision has been made unless carrying it out in specific steps has become someone's work assignment and responsibility.
Peter Drucker
We always remember best the irrelevant.
Peter Drucker
Political freedom is neither easy nor automatic, neither pleasant nor secure. It is the responsibility of the individual for the decisions of society as if they were his own decisions-as in moral truth and accountability they are.
Peter Drucker
The most serious mistakes are not being made as a result of wrong answers. The true dangerous thing is asking the wrong question.
Peter Drucker
Keep your eye on the task, not on yourself. The task matters, and you are a servant
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
The productivity of people requires continuous learning, as the Japanese have taught us. It requires adoption in the West of the specific Japanese Zen concept where one learns to do better what one already does well.
Peter Drucker
The worker's effectiveness is determined largely by the way he is being managed.
Peter Drucker
When a resource is scarce, you increase its yield.
Peter Drucker
We can't make people better by trying to eliminate their weaknesses, but we can help then perform better by building on their strengths.
Peter Drucker
Your first and foremost job as a leader is to take charge of your own energy and then help to orchestrate the energy of those around you.
Peter Drucker
Charisma becomes the undoing of leaders. It makes them inflexible, convinced of their own infallibility, unable to change
Peter Drucker
The area in which the executive first encounters the challenge of strength is in staffing. The effective executive fills positions and promotes on the basis of what a man can do. He does not make staffing decisions to minimize weaknesses but to maximize strength.
Peter Drucker
Effective organizations put people in jobs in which they can do the most good. They place people -- and allow people to place themselves -- according to their strengths.
Peter Drucker
No one has ever failed to find the facts they are looking for.
Peter Drucker
