A manager's task is to make the strengths of people effective and their weakness irrelevant - and that applies fully as much to the manager's boss as it applies to the manager's subordinates.

More quotes by 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
Every organization has to prepare for the abandonment of everything it does.
Peter Drucker
The 1st question the effective decision-maker asks is: 'Is this a generic situation or an exception?'
Peter Drucker
Do the right things instead of trying to do everything right.
Peter Drucker
Vision without execution is delusion. The joy is in the results
Peter Drucker
Innovation requires us to systematically identify changes that have already occurred in a business - in demographics, in values, in technology or science - and then to look at them as opportunities. It also requires something that is most difficult for existing companies to do: to abandon rather than defend yesterday.
Peter Drucker
Never ask who's right. Start out by asking what is right. And you find that out by listening to dissenting, disagreeing opinions.
Peter Drucker
Change is the norm unless an organization sees that its task is to lead change, that organization will not survive.
Peter Drucker
The manager is a servant. His master is the institution he manages and his first responsibility must therefore be to it.
Peter Drucker
The fruit of your work grows on other people's trees
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
Business exists to supply goods and services to customers and economic surplus to society, rather than to supply jobs to workers and managers or even dividends to shareholders.
Peter Drucker
It takes far less energy to move from first-rate performance to excellence than it does to move from incompetence to mediocrity.
Peter Drucker
We have only one alternative: either to build a functioning industrial society or see freedom itself disappear in anarchy and tyranny.
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
One cannot manage change. One can only be ahead of it.
Peter Drucker
Management is not being brilliant. Management is being conscientious.
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
The most effective way to manage change is to create it.
Peter Drucker
The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different.
Peter Drucker
