More quotes by 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
What can I contribute that will significantly affect the performance and the results of the institution I serve?
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
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
Loafing is easy, but leisure is difficult.
Peter Drucker
The tool user, provided the tool is made well, need not, and indeed should not, know anything about the tool.
Peter Drucker
Don't take on things you don't believe in and that you yourself are not good at. Learn to say no. Effective leaders match the objective needs of their company with the subjective competencies. As a result, they get an enormous amount of things done fast.
Peter Drucker
Efficiency is doing better what is already being done.
Peter Drucker
The only things that evolve by themselves in an organization are disorder, friction and malperformance.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
It is commonly believed that innovations create changes - but few ever do. Successful innovations exploit changes that have already happened.
Peter Drucker
No one learns as much about a subject as one who is forced to teach it.
Peter Drucker
You can either take action, or you can hang back and hope for a miracle. Miracles are great, but they are so unpredictable.
Peter Drucker
The large organization has to learn to innovate, or it won't survive.
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
Every three or four years I pick a new subject. It may be Japanese art it may be economics. Three years of study are by no means enough to master a subject but they are enough to understand it. SO for more than 60 years I have kept studying one subject at a time.
Peter Drucker
If you're not living life on the edge, you're taking up too much space. The best way to predict the future is to create it.
Peter Drucker
Every success creates new opportunities. So does every failure.
Peter Drucker
There are no creeds in mathematics.
