We've spent the last 30 years focusing on the T in IT, and we'll spend the next 30 years focusing on the I.

Image
True marketing starts...with the customer, his demographics, his realities, his needs, his values. It does not ask, What do we want to sell? It asks, What does the customer want to buy?
Peter Drucker

Company cultures are like country cultures. Never try to change one. Try, instead, to work with what you've got.

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

Image
Don't take on things you don't believe in and that you yourself are not good at. Learn to say no. Effective leaders match the objective needs of their company with the subjective competencies. As a result, they get an enormous amount of things done fast.
Peter Drucker
Image
Too many leaders try to do a little bit of 25 things and get nothing done. They are very popular because they always say yes. But they get nothing done.
Peter Drucker
Image
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
Image
Managers are the basic and scarcest resource of any business enterprise.
Peter Drucker
Image
Any organisation develops people it either forms them or deforms them.
Peter Drucker
Image
Successful leaders don't start out asking, 'What do I want to do?' They ask, 'What needs to be done?' Then they ask, 'Of those things that would make a difference, which are right for me?'
Peter Drucker
Image
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

Look upon every obstacle as part payment towards your success.
Peter Drucker

The 1st question the effective decision-maker asks is: 'Is this a generic situation or an exception?'
Peter Drucker

You can either take action, or you can hang back and hope for a miracle. Miracles are great, but they are so unpredictable.
