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
The most serious mistakes are not being made as a result of wrong answers. The true dangerous thing is asking the wrong question.
Peter Drucker
Capitalism is being attacked not because it is inefficient or misgoverned but because it is cynical. And indeed a society based on the assertion that private vices become public benefits cannot endure, no matter how impeccable its logic, no matter how great its benefits.
Peter Drucker
The only things that evolve by themselves in an organization are disorder, friction and malperformance.
Peter Drucker
The worker's effectiveness is determined largely by the way he is being managed.
Peter Drucker
As with every phenomenon of the objective universe, the first step toward understanding work is to analyze it.
Peter Drucker
What's absolutely unforgivable is the financial benefit top management people get for laying off people. There's no excuse for it. No justification. No explanation. This is morally and socially unforgivable, and we'll pay a very nasty price.
Peter Drucker
Do not measure your life by your goals but what you are doing to achieve them.
Peter Drucker
Effective people are not problem minded they're opportunity-minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems. They think preventively.
Peter Drucker
Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.
Peter Drucker
There is no perfect strategic decision. One always has to pay a price. One always has to balance conflicting objectives, conflicting opinions, and conflicting priorities. The best strategic decision is only an approximation - and a risk.
Peter Drucker
No decision has been made unless carrying it out in specific steps has become someone's work assignment and responsibility.
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
The area in which the executive first encounters the challenge of strength is in staffing. The effective executive fills positions and promotes on the basis of what a man can do. He does not make staffing decisions to minimize weaknesses but to maximize strength.
Peter Drucker
Objectives are not commands they are commitments.
Peter Drucker
The greatest change in corporate culture - and the way business is being conducted - may be the accelerated growth of relationships based... on partnership.
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
In the managerial organization, the top people sit in judgment in the innovative organization it is their job to encourage ideas, no matter how unripe or crude.
Peter Drucker
Knowledge applied is productivity.
Peter Drucker
Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.
Peter Drucker
