More quotes by Peter Drucker
The large organization has to learn to innovate, or it won't survive.
Peter Drucker
A fundamental responsibility of leadership is make sure that everybody knows the mission, understands it, lives it.
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
Promotion should not be more important than accomplishment, or avoiding instability more important than taking the right risk.
Peter Drucker
Successful careers are not planned. They develop when people are prepared for opportunities because they know their strengths, their method of work, and their values. Knowing where one belongs can transform an ordinary person - hardworking and competent but otherwise mediocre - into an outstanding performer.
Peter Drucker
The tool user, provided the tool is made well, need not, and indeed should not, know anything about the tool.
Peter Drucker
The question that faces the strategic decision maker is not what his organisation should do tomorrow. It is, what do we have to do today to be ready for an uncertain tomorrow?
Peter Drucker
What gets measured gets managed.
Peter Drucker
Thus, for those who are willing to go out into the field, to look and to listen, changing demographics is both a highly productive and a highly dependable innovation opportunity.
Peter Drucker
[Entrepreneurship] is by no means hunch or gamble. But it also is not precisely science. Rather, it is judgment.
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
No one has ever failed to find the facts they are looking for.
Peter Drucker
Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship. The act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth.
Peter Drucker
We have tried to substitute mass for purpose. We have tried to regain military potency of defense by making it gigantic, unwieldy, complex. It never works.
Peter Drucker
Every single social and global issue of our day is a business opportunity in disguise.
Peter Drucker
It is commonly believed that innovations create changes - but few ever do. Successful innovations exploit changes that have already happened.
Peter Drucker
And no matter how serious an environmental problem the automobile poses in today's big city, the horse was dirtier, smelled worse, killed and maimed more people, and congested the streets just as much.
Peter Drucker
Decision making is the specific executive task.
Peter Drucker
There are no creeds in mathematics.
Peter Drucker
Customers pay only for what is of use to them and gives them value. Nothing else constitutes quality.
Peter Drucker
