More quotes by Peter Drucker
There's an enormous number of managers who have retired on the job.
Peter Drucker
Every enterprise is learning and teaching institution. Training and development must be built into it on all levels, training and development that never stop.
Peter Drucker
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
Peter Drucker
Many studies of research scientists have shown that achievement (at least below the genius level of an Einstein, Bohr, or a Planck) depends less on ability in doing research than on the courage to go after opportunity.
Peter Drucker
There are no creeds in mathematics.
Peter Drucker
One either meets or one works.
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
Our job in life is to make a positive difference, not prove we're right.
Peter Drucker
The correct assumption is that what individuals have learned by age twenty-one will begin to become obsolete five to ten years later and will have to be replaced-or at least refurbished-by new learning, new skills, new knowledge.
Peter Drucker
Every success creates new opportunities. So does every failure.
Peter Drucker
Tomorrow always arrives. It is always different. And even the mightiest company is in trouble if it has not worked on the future. Being surprised by what happens is a risk that even the largest and richest company cannot afford, and even the smallest business need not run.
Peter Drucker
No financial man will ever understand business because financial people think a company makes money. A company makes shoes, and no financial man understands that. They think money is real. Shoes are real.
Peter Drucker
With Christianity, freedom and equality became the two basic concepts of Europe they are themselves Europe.
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
Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.
Peter Drucker
Marketing is the distinguishing, unique function of the business.
Peter Drucker
When a resource is scarce, you increase its yield.
Peter Drucker
Nobody can predict the future the idea is to have a firm grasp of the present.
Peter Drucker
There is nothing worse than doing the wrong thing well.
Peter Drucker
Decision making is the specific executive task.
Peter Drucker
