More quotes by Peter Drucker
Charisma becomes the undoing of leaders. It makes them inflexible, convinced of their own infallibility, unable to change
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
Marketing is not only much broader than selling, it is not a specialized activity at all. It encompasses the entire business. It is the whole business seen from the point of view of its final result, that is, from the customer's point of view.
Peter Drucker
If you have too many problems, maybe you should get out of business. There is no law that says a company must last forever.
Peter Drucker
All companies are service companies some also manufacture products.
Peter Drucker
Follow effective action with quiet reflection.
Peter Drucker
A man should never be appointed into a managerial position if his vision focuses on people's weaknesses rather than on their strengths.
Peter Drucker
An organization which just perpetuates today's level of vision, excellence, and accomplishment has lost the capacity to adapt.
Peter Drucker
The essence of management is to make knowledge productive.
Peter Drucker
Mother Teresa's numerical results were not her greatest contribution. Instead, she made the world-and especially India-conscious of compassion.
Peter Drucker
In the modern corporation the decisive power, that of the managers , is derived from no one but the managers themselves controlled by nobody and nothing and responsible to no one. It is in the most literal sense unfounded, unjustified, uncontrolled and irresponsible power.
Peter Drucker
The ultimate resource in economic development is people. It is people, not capital or raw materials that develop an economy.
Peter Drucker
The world economy is not yet a community--not even an economic community...Yet the existence of the global shopping center is a fact that cannot be undone. The vision of an economy for all will not be forgotten again.
Peter Drucker
Inside an organization there are only cost centers. The only profit center is a customer whose check has not bounced.
Peter Drucker
Every organization has to prepare for the abandonment of everything it does.
Peter Drucker
The Welfare State, which begun in Imperial Germany for the truly indigent and disabled, has now become everybody's entitlement and an increasing burden on those who produce.
Peter Drucker
The company is not and must never claim to be home, family, religion, life or fate for the individual. It must never interfere in his private life or his citizenship. He is tied to the company through a voluntary and cancellable employment contract, not through some mystical or indissoluble bond.
Peter Drucker
The enterprise that does not innovate ages and declines. And in a period of rapid change such as the present, the decline will be fast.
Peter Drucker
Through systematic terror, through indoctrination, through systematic manipulation of stimulus, reward, and punishment, we can today break man and convert him into brute animal... The first step toward survival is therefore to make government legitimate again by attempting to deprive it of these powers... by international action to ban such powers.
Peter Drucker
The 1st question the effective decision-maker asks is: 'Is this a generic situation or an exception?'
Peter Drucker
