The need to manage oneself is creating a revolution in human affairs.
Peter Drucker
Image
The productivity of people requires continuous learning, as the Japanese have taught us. It requires adoption in the West of the specific Japanese Zen concept where one learns to do better what one already does well.
Peter Drucker
Image
One either meets or one works.
Peter Drucker
Image
Everything requires time. It is the only truly universal condition. All work takes place in time and uses up time. Yet most people take for granted this unique, irreplaceable, and necessary resource. Nothing else, perhaps, distinguishes effective executives as much as their tender loving care of time.
Peter Drucker
Image
Objectives can be compared to a compass bearing by which a ship navigates. A compass bearing is firm, but in actual navigation, a ship may veer off its course for many miles. Without a compass bearing, a ship would neither find its port nor be able to estimate the time required to get there.
Peter Drucker
Image
Innovation requires us to systematically identify changes that have already occurred in a business - in demographics, in values, in technology or science - and then to look at them as opportunities. It also requires something that is most difficult for existing companies to do: to abandon rather than defend yesterday.

To make the future demands courage. It demands work. But it also demands faith.
Peter Drucker
Image
Spontaneity is an infinite number of rehearsed possibilities.
Peter Drucker
Image
Every organization has to prepare for the abandonment of everything it does.
Peter Drucker
Image
One does not manage people. The task is to lead people.
Peter Drucker
Image
There's nothing so useless than executing a task efficiently when it actually never should have been executed at all.
Peter Drucker
Image
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
Image
Planning is actually incompatible with an entrepreneurial society and economy. Planning is the kiss of death of entrepreneurship.
Peter Drucker
Image
In todays economy, the most important resource is no longer labor, capital or land it is knowledge
Peter Drucker
Image
Plans are worthless, but planning is invaluable.
Peter Drucker
Image
It takes far less energy to move from first-rate performance to excellence than it does to move from incompetence to mediocrity.
Peter Drucker
Image
Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.
Peter Drucker
Image
Successful careers are not planned. They develop when people are prepared for opportunities because they know their strengths, their method of work, and their values. Knowing where one belongs can transform an ordinary person - hardworking and competent but otherwise mediocre - into an outstanding performer.

The fruit of your work grows on other people's trees

The days of the 'intuitive' manager are numbered.
