More quotes by Peter Drucker
Doing the right thing is more important than doing the thing right.
Peter Drucker
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.
Peter Drucker
One has to make a decision when a condition is likely to degenerate if nothing is done.
Peter Drucker
Without institution there is no management. But without management there is no institution.
Peter Drucker
Inside an organization there are only cost centers. The only profit center is a customer whose check has not bounced.
Peter Drucker
The most serious mistakes are not being made as a result of wrong answers. The true dangerous thing is asking the wrong question.
Peter Drucker
If the feudal knight was the clearest embodiment of society in the early Middle Ages, and the bourgeois under Capitalism, the educated person will represent society in the post-capitalist society in which knowledge has become the central resource.
Peter Drucker
The problem in my life and other people's lives is not the absence of knowing what to do but the absence of doing it.
Peter Drucker
Important decisions are risky. They should be controversial. Acclamation means that nobody has done the homework.
Peter Drucker
The days of the 'intuitive' manager are numbered.
Peter Drucker
The dilemma of modern society: the conflict between the need for capital formation at a high rate and the popular condemnation of interest and dividends as unearned income and capitalist, if not as sinful and wicked.
Peter Drucker
Nothing is less productive than to make more efficient what should not be done at all.
Peter Drucker
Time is the scarcest resource and unless it is managed nothing else can be managed.
Peter Drucker
Knowledge is power, which is why people who had it in the past often tried to make a secret of it. In post-capitalism, power comes from transmitting information to make it productive, not from hiding it.
Peter Drucker
Defending yesterday is far more risky than making tomorrow.
Peter Drucker
As with every phenomenon of the objective universe, the first step toward understanding work is to analyze it.
Peter Drucker
We have tried to substitute mass for purpose. We have tried to regain military potency of defense by making it gigantic, unwieldy, complex. It never works.
Peter Drucker
If socialism is defined as ownership of the means of production--and this is both the orthodox and the only rigorous definition--then the United States is the first truly Socialist country.
Peter Drucker
One does not manage people. The task is to lead people.
Peter Drucker
An established company which, in an age demanding innovation, is not able to innovation, is doomed to decline and extinction.
Peter Drucker
