More quotes by Peter Drucker

Image
The subordinate's job is not to reform or reeducate the boss, not to make him conform to what the business schools or the management book say bosses should be like. It is to enable a particular boss to perform as a unique individual.
Peter Drucker
Image
Every organization must be prepared to abandon everything it does to survive in the future.
Peter Drucker
Image
As a rule we perceive what we expect to perceive... The unexpected is usually not received at all.
Peter Drucker
Image
There are companies that are good at improving what they're already doing. There are companies that are good at extending what they're doing. And finally there are companies that are good at innovation. Every large company has to be able to do all three - improve, extend, and innovate - simultaneously.

The better a man is the more mistakes will he make – for the more new things he will try.

When Henry Ford said, The customer can have a car in any color as long as it's black, he was not joking.
Peter Drucker
Image
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

I find more and more executives less and less well informed about the outside world, if only because they believe that the data on the computer printouts are ipso facto information.
Peter Drucker
Image
The corporation is the master, the employee is the servant. Because the corporation owns the means of production without which the employee could not make a living, the employee needs the corporation more than vice versa.
Peter Drucker
Image
Promotion should not be more important than accomplishment, or avoiding instability more important than taking the right risk.
Peter Drucker
Image
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
Image
No decision has been made unless carrying it out in specific steps has become someone's work assignment and responsibility.
Peter Drucker
Image
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
Image
The most important decisions in organizations are people decisions, and yet only the military, and only recently, has begun to ask, If we assign this general to lead this base, what do we expect him to accomplish?
Peter Drucker
Image
The society of organizations is new-only seventy years ago employees were a small minority in every society.
Peter Drucker
Image
Leadership is not rank, privileges, title or money. It is responsibility.
Peter Drucker
Image
The purpose of information is not knowledge. It is being able to take the right action.
Peter Drucker
Image
Since we live in an age of innovation, a practical education must prepare a man for work that does not yet exist and cannot yet be clearly defined.
Peter Drucker
Image
Effective organizations put people in jobs in which they can do the most good. They place people -- and allow people to place themselves -- according to their strengths.
Peter Drucker
Image
Management means, in the last analysis, the substitution of thought for brawn and muscle, of knowledge for folkways and superstition, and of cooperation for force. It means the substitution of responsibility for obedience to rank, and of authority of performance for the authority of rank.
