More quotes by Peter Drucker
Customers pay only for what is of use to them and gives them value. Nothing else constitutes quality.
Peter Drucker
The young knowledge worker whose job is too small to challenge and test his abilities either leaves or declines rapidly into premature middle age, soured, cynical, unproductive.
Peter Drucker
To be a manager requires more than a title, a big office, and other outward symbols of rank. It requires competence and performance of a high order.
Peter Drucker
In a rural society communities are given for the individual. Community is a fact, whether family or religion, social class or caste.
Peter Drucker
Most people think they know what they are good at. They are usually wrong... And yet, a person can perform only from strength.
Peter Drucker
An effective executive builds on strengths - their own strengths, the strengths of superiors, colleagues, subordinates, and on the strength of the situation.
Peter Drucker
We do not need more laws . No country suffers from a shortage of laws. We need a new model .
Peter Drucker
There's no such thing as knowledge management there are only knowledgeable people. Information only becomes knowledge in the hands of someone who knows what to do with it.
Peter Drucker
Of all the decisions an executive makes, none is as important as the decisions about people, because they determine the performance capacity of the organization.
Peter Drucker
Every organization must be prepared to abandon everything it does to survive in the future.
Peter Drucker
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
Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.
Peter Drucker
Succession planning often results in the selection of a weaker representation of yourself.
Peter Drucker
The question that faces the strategic decision maker is not what his organisation should do tomorrow. It is, what do we have to do today to be ready for an uncertain tomorrow?
Peter Drucker
There is an unbroken chain of opposition to the introduction of economic freedom and to the capitalist autonomy of the economic sphere... In every case the opposition could only be overcome - peacefully or by force - because of the promise of capitalism to establish equality... That this promise was an illusion we all know.
Peter Drucker
It has been said, and only half in jest, that a tough, professionally led union is a great force for improving management performance. It forces the manager to think about what he is doing and to be able to explain his actions and behavior.
Peter Drucker
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
Peter Drucker
Business exists to supply goods and services to customers and economic surplus to society, rather than to supply jobs to workers and managers or even dividends to shareholders.
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
No single piece of macroeconomic advice given by the experts to their government has ever had the results predicted.
Peter Drucker
