More quotes by Peter Drucker
Our job in life is to make a positive difference, not prove we're right.
Peter Drucker
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.
Peter Drucker
As a rule we perceive what we expect to perceive... The unexpected is usually not received at all.
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
The more successful the unit, the more difficult it is to make sure that the large company doesn't put the same expectations on it as it does for the rest of the company. When it's a new venture, whether it's outside or inside the business, it's a child. And you don't put a 40-pound pack on a 6-year-old's back when you take her hiking.
Peter Drucker
Business purpose and business mission are so rarely given adequate thought is perhaps the most important cause of business frustration and failure.
Peter Drucker
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
One does not start with facts. One starts with opinions.
Peter Drucker
Every success creates new opportunities. So does every failure.
Peter Drucker
The leader of the past was a person who knew how to tell. The leader of the future will be a person who knows how to ask.
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
Charisma becomes the undoing of leaders. It makes them inflexible, convinced of their own infallibility, unable to change
Peter Drucker
The only things that evolve by themselves in an organization are disorder, friction and malperformance.
Peter Drucker
More business decisions occur over lunch and dinner than at any other time, yet no MBA courses are given on the subject.
Peter Drucker
There is one qualification the manager cannot acquire but must bring to the task. It is not genius it is character.
Peter Drucker
Nothing else, perhaps, distinguishes effective executives as much as their tender loving care of time.
Peter Drucker
Providing more desirable products, services, and customer experiences is vital to the continued existence of any business. And that is INNOVATION.
Peter Drucker
The only skill that will be important in the 21st century is the skill of learning new skills.Everythi ng else will become obsolete over time.
Peter Drucker
Successful leaders don't start out asking, 'What do I want to do?' They ask, 'What needs to be done?' Then they ask, 'Of those things that would make a difference, which are right for me?'
Peter Drucker
The purpose of a business is to create a customer.
