More quotes by 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

Peter Drucker
Keep your eye on the task, not on yourself. The task matters, and you are a servant
Peter Drucker
Loafing is easy, but leisure is difficult.
Peter Drucker
To satisfy the customer is the mission and purpose of every business.
Peter Drucker
We no longer even understand the question whether change is by itself good or bad, ...We start out with the axiom that it is the norm. We do not see change as altering the order... We see change as being order itself - indeed the only order we can comprehend today is a dynamic, a moving, a changing one.
Peter Drucker
The large organization has to learn to innovate, or it won't survive.
Peter Drucker
No single piece of macroeconomic advice given by the experts to their government has ever had the results predicted.
Peter Drucker
That people even in well paid jobs choose ever earlier retirement is a severe indictment of our organizations - not just business, but government service, the universities. These people don't find their jobs interesting.
Peter Drucker
