More quotes by Peter Drucker
We always remember best the irrelevant.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
Without institution there is no management. But without management there is no institution.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
Managers are the basic and scarcest resource of any business enterprise.
Peter Drucker
An employer has no business with a man's personality... The task is not to change personality, but to enable a person to achieve and to perform.
Peter Drucker

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
Any organisation develops people it either forms them or deforms them.
Peter Drucker
Most people think they know what they are good at. They are usually wrong... And yet, a person can perform only from strength.
Peter Drucker
The moment people talk of implementing instead of doing, and of finalizing instead of finishing, the organization is already running a fever.
Peter Drucker
The productivity of work is not the responsibility of the worker but of the manager.
Peter Drucker
Don't solve problems. Pursue opportunities.
Peter Drucker
The single minded ones, the monomaniacs, are the only true achievers
