More quotes by 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
Any time I have seen someone accomplishing something magnificent, they have been a monomaniac with a mission. A single-minded individual with a passion.
Peter Drucker
Marketing is not only much broader than selling, it is not a specialized activity at all. It encompasses the entire business. It is the whole business seen from the point of view of its final result, that is, from the customer's point of view.
Peter Drucker
To arrive at the definition of the problem he must begin by finding the 'critical factor'. This is the element (or elements) in the situation that has to be changed before anything else can be changed, moved, acted upon.
Peter Drucker
The better a man is the more mistakes will he make – for the more new things he will try.
Peter Drucker
Political freedom is neither easy nor automatic, neither pleasant nor secure. It is the responsibility of the individual for the decisions of society as if they were his own decisions-as in moral truth and accountability they are.
Peter Drucker
Effective people are not problem minded they're opportunity-minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems. They think preventively.
Peter Drucker
Inside an organization there are only cost centers. The only profit center is a customer whose check has not bounced.
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
One does not start with facts. One starts with opinions.
Peter Drucker
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.
Peter Drucker
Company cultures are like country cultures. Never try to change one. Try, instead, to work with what you've got.
Peter Drucker
Absolute size by itself is no indicator of success and achievement, let alone of managerial competence. Being the right size is.
Peter Drucker
Checking the results of a decision against its expectations shows executives what their strengths are, where they need to improve, and where they lack knowledge or information.
Peter Drucker
Leadership is lifting a person's vision to high sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.
Peter Drucker
Ideas are like frog eggs: you've got to lay a thousand to hatch one.
Peter Drucker
The single most important thing to remember about any enterprise is that results exist only on the outside.The result of a business is a satisfied customer. The result of a hospital is a satisfied patient. The result of a school is a student who has learned something and puts it to work ten years later. Inside an enterprise there are only costs.
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
Nothing else, perhaps, distinguishes effective executives as much as their tender loving care of time.
Peter Drucker
There's no such thing as knowledge management there are only knowledgeable people. Information only becomes knowledge in the hands of someone who knows what to do with it.
Peter Drucker
