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.

More quotes by 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
Education can no longer be the sole property of the state.
Peter Drucker
The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well the product or service fits him and sells itself.
Peter Drucker
There's an enormous number of managers who have retired on the job.
Peter Drucker
The job of a professional manager is not to like people. It is not to change people. It is to put their strengths to work.

For new technology to replace old, it has to have at least ten times the benefit.
Peter Drucker
In the Western tradition, we have focused on teaching as a skill and forgotten what Socrates knew: teaching is a gift, learning is a skill.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
What is the major problem? It is fundamentally the confusion between effectiveness and efficiency that stands between doing the right things and doing things right. There is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency what should not be done at all.
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
Most innovators are successful to the extent to which they define risks and confine them.
Peter Drucker
Most discussions of decision making assume that only senior executives make decisions or that only senior executives' decisions matter. This is a dangerous mistake.
Peter Drucker
In the modern corporation the decisive power, that of the managers , is derived from no one but the managers themselves controlled by nobody and nothing and responsible to no one. It is in the most literal sense unfounded, unjustified, uncontrolled and irresponsible power.
Peter Drucker
The first organization structure in the modern West was laid down in the canon law of the Catholic Church eight hundred years ago.
Peter Drucker
Every few hundred years in Western history there occurs a sharp transformation. Within a few short decades, society - its worldview, its basic values, its social and political structures, its art, its key institutions - rearranges itself. We are currently living through such a time.
Peter Drucker
Culture eats Christianity for breakfast.
Peter Drucker
Follow effective action with quiet reflection.
Peter Drucker
Nothing is less productive than to make more efficient what should not be done at all.
Peter Drucker
If a business is to be considered a continuous process, instead of a series of disjointed stop-and-go events, then the economic universe in which a business operates-and all the major events within it-must have rhyme, rhythm, or reason.
Peter Drucker
Doing the right thing is more important than doing the thing right.
Peter Drucker
