Peter Drucker
The relevant question is not simply what shall we do tomorrow, but rather what shall we do today in order to get ready for tomorrow.
Peter Drucker
Time is the scarcest resource and unless it is managed nothing else can be managed.
Peter Drucker
The society of organizations is new-only seventy years ago employees were a small minority in every society.
Peter Drucker
Every organization has to prepare for the abandonment of everything it does.
Peter Drucker
Inside an organization there are only cost centers. The only profit center is a customer whose check has not bounced.

The individual needs the return to spiritual values, for he can survive in the present human situation only by reaffirming that man is not just a biological and psychological being but also a spiritual being, that is creature, and existing for the purposes of his Creator and subject to Him.
Peter Drucker
Time is the scarcest resource.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
In the managerial organization, the top people sit in judgment in the innovative organization it is their job to encourage ideas, no matter how unripe or crude.
Peter Drucker
Teaching 23-year-olds in an MBA programme strikes me as largely a waste of time. They lack the background of experience. You can teach them skills - accounting and what have you - but you can't teach them management.
Peter Drucker
The computer, being a mechanical moron, can handle only quantifiable data.
Peter Drucker
There is the risk you cannot afford to take, and there is the risk you cannot afford not to take.
Peter Drucker
Important decisions are risky. They should be controversial. Acclamation means that nobody has done the homework.
Peter Drucker
