More quotes by Peter Drucker
It's amazing how many things busy people are doing that never will be missed.
Peter Drucker
There is the risk you cannot afford to take, and there is the risk you cannot afford not to take.
Peter Drucker
Do the right things instead of trying to do everything right.
Peter Drucker
When it rains manna from heaven, some people put up an umbrella. Others reach for a big spoon.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
No one has ever failed to find the facts they are looking for.
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
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
The better a man is the more mistakes will he make – for the more new things he will try.
Peter Drucker
More business decisions occur over lunch and dinner than at any other time, yet no MBA courses are given on the subject.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
Nothing else, perhaps, distinguishes effective executives as much as their tender loving care of time.
Peter Drucker
One cannot manage change. One can only be ahead of it.
Peter Drucker
Change is the norm unless an organization sees that its task is to lead change, that organization will not survive.
Peter Drucker
Growth that adds volume without improving productivity is fat. Growth that diminishes productivity is cancer.
Peter Drucker
The computer, being a mechanical moron, can handle only quantifiable data.
Peter Drucker
Nobody in the world is as good at making decisions as the Japanese.
Peter Drucker
Important decisions are risky. They should be controversial. Acclamation means that nobody has done the homework.
Peter Drucker
A business is not defined by its name, statutes, or articles of incorporation. It is defined by the business mission. Only a clear definition of the mission and purpose of the organization makes possible clear and realistic business objectives.
