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
The enterprise, by definition, must be capable of producing more or better than all the resources that comprise it.
Peter Drucker
One has to make a decision when a condition is likely to degenerate if nothing is done.
Peter Drucker
Do not measure your life by your goals but what you are doing to achieve them.
Peter Drucker
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
Peter Drucker
The purpose of an organization is to enable ordinary humans beings to do extraordinary things.
Peter Drucker
Everything must degenerate into work if anything is to happen.
Peter Drucker
It’s up to you to carve out your place, to know when to change course, and to keep yourself engaged and productive during a work life that may span some 50 years.
Peter Drucker
The computer, being a mechanical moron, can handle only quantifiable data.
Peter Drucker
It has been said, and only half in jest, that a tough, professionally led union is a great force for improving management performance. It forces the manager to think about what he is doing and to be able to explain his actions and behavior.
Peter Drucker
No one learns as much about a subject as one who is forced to teach it.
Peter Drucker
Everybody has accepted by now that change is unavoidable. But that still implies that change is like death and taxes - it should be postponed as long as possible and no change would be vastly preferable. But in a period of upheaval, such as the one we are living in, change is the norm.
Peter Drucker
The leader of the past was a person who knew how to tell. The leader of the future will be a person who knows how to ask.
Peter Drucker
