More quotes by Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
To be a manager requires more than a title, a big office, and other outward symbols of rank. It requires competence and performance of a high order.
Peter Drucker

That's when you do depend on the leader: The job of the leader is to build an organization that is battle-ready, that has high morale, that knows how to behave, that trusts itself, and where people trust one another.
Peter Drucker
Management means, in the last analysis, the substitution of thought for brawn and muscle, of knowledge for folkways and superstition, and of cooperation for force. It means the substitution of responsibility for obedience to rank, and of authority of performance for the authority of rank.
Peter Drucker
There is one qualification the manager cannot acquire but must bring to the task. It is not genius it is character.
Peter Drucker
There are usually half a dozen right answers to what needs to be done. Yet, unless a person makes the risky and controversial choice of only one, he will achieve nothing.
Peter Drucker
The need to manage oneself is creating a revolution in human affairs.
Peter Drucker
As a rule we perceive what we expect to perceive... The unexpected is usually not received at all.
Peter Drucker
Most people think they know what they are good at. They are usually wrong... And yet, a person can perform only from strength.
Peter Drucker
