More quotes by Peter Drucker
We can't make people better by trying to eliminate their weaknesses, but we can help then perform better by building on their strengths.
Peter Drucker
Successful people know they need to get many things done-and done effectively. Therefore, they concentrate their time and energy on doing one thing at a time-and on doing first things firs.
Peter Drucker
Fortunately or unfortunately, the one predictable thing in any organization is the crisis. That always comes. 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
The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well the product or service fits him and sells itself.
Peter Drucker
The best plan is only a plan... unless it degerates into work.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
The really important things are said over cocktails and are never done.
Peter Drucker
The most valuable assets of a 20th-century company were its production equipment. The most valuable assets of a 21st-century institution, whether business or nonbusiness, will be its knowledge, workers, and their productivity.
Peter Drucker
The more successful the unit, the more difficult it is to make sure that the large company doesn't put the same expectations on it as it does for the rest of the company. When it's a new venture, whether it's outside or inside the business, it's a child. And you don't put a 40-pound pack on a 6-year-old's back when you take her hiking.
Peter Drucker
When a resource is scarce, you increase its yield.
Peter Drucker
If you want it, measure it. If you can't measure it, forget it.
Peter Drucker
It's amazing how many things busy people are doing that never will be missed.
Peter Drucker
The world political system is till based on the concept of the national sovereign state. For the first time therefore, in three hundred years economy and sovereignty are becoming divorced from each other.
Peter Drucker
Doing the right thing is more important than doing the thing right.
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
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.
Peter Drucker
It is willingness of people to give of themselves over and above the demands of the job that distinguishes the great from the merely adequate.
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
Because its purpose is to create a customer, the business enterprise has two - and only these two — basic functions: marketing and innovation. Marketing and innovation produce results all the rest are 'costs'.
Peter Drucker
The only skill that will be important in the 21st century is the skill of learning new skills.Everythi ng else will become obsolete over time.
Peter Drucker
