Peter Drucker
The days of the 'intuitive' manager are numbered.
Peter Drucker
Knowledge has become the key economic resource and the dominant-and perhaps even the only-source of competitive advantage.
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

Peter Drucker
Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.
Peter Drucker
One cannot manage change. One can only be ahead of it.

As to the idea that advertising motivates people, remember the Edsel.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
When Henry Ford said, The customer can have a car in any color as long as it's black, he was not joking.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
There's no such thing as knowledge management there are only knowledgeable people. Information only becomes knowledge in the hands of someone who knows what to do with it.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
Every three or four years I pick a new subject. It may be Japanese art it may be economics. Three years of study are by no means enough to master a subject but they are enough to understand it. SO for more than 60 years I have kept studying one subject at a time.
Peter Drucker
Leadership is all about getting results.
Peter Drucker
Success always obsoletes the very behavior that achieved it.
Peter Drucker
It is commonly believed that innovations create changes - but few ever do. Successful innovations exploit changes that have already happened.
Peter Drucker
In the managerial organization, the top people sit in judgment in the innovative organization it is their job to encourage ideas, no matter how unripe or crude.
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.
