More quotes by Peter Drucker
Our most important education system is in the employees' own organization.
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 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
The only industries that function well are the industries that take responsibility for training. The Japanese, you know, assume that when you first come to work you know absolutely nothing. School isn't preparation for work and never was.
Peter Drucker
As a manager you're paid to be uncomfortable. If you're comfortable, it's a sure sign you're doing things wrong.
Peter Drucker
Every organization has to prepare for the abandonment of everything it does.
Peter Drucker
Profit is not the explanation, cause, or rationale of business behavior and business decisions, but the test of their validity.
Peter Drucker
People in any organization, including bureaucrats and politicians, are always attached to the obsolete the obsolescent the things that should have worked but didn't the things that once were productive and no longer are.
Peter Drucker
Universities won't survive. The future is outside the traditional campus, outside the traditional classroom. Distance learning is coming on fast.
Peter Drucker
Nobody in the world is as good at making decisions as the Japanese.
Peter Drucker
Time is the scarcest resource.
Peter Drucker
I would hope that American managers-indeed, managers worldwide-continue to appreciate what I have been saying almost from day one: that management is so much more than exercising rank and privilege, that it is much more than making deals. Management affects people and their lives.
Peter Drucker
It has been said, and only half in jest, that a tough, professionally led union is a great force for improving management performance. It forces the manager to think about what he is doing and to be able to explain his actions and behavior.
Peter Drucker
Increasingly, politics is not about who gets what, when, how but about values, each of them considered to be absolute. Politics is about the right to life...It is about the environment. It is about gaining equality for groups alleged to be oppressed...None of these issues is economic. All are fundamentally moral.
Peter Drucker
If a manager spends more than 10 percent of his time on human relations the group is probably too large.
Peter Drucker
The subordinate's job is not to reform or reeducate the boss, not to make him conform to what the business schools or the management book say bosses should be like. It is to enable a particular boss to perform as a unique individual.
Peter Drucker
The most important contribution management needs to make in the 21st century is ... to increase the productivity of knowledge work and the knowledge worker
Peter Drucker
The individual is the central, rarest, most precious capital resource of our society.
Peter Drucker
Executives owe it to the organization and to their fellow workers not to tolerate nonperforming individuals in important jobs.
Peter Drucker
There is the risk you cannot afford to take, and there is the risk you cannot afford not to take.
Peter Drucker
