More quotes by Peter Drucker
Organizationally what is required - and evolving - is systems management.
Peter Drucker
Effective organizations put people in jobs in which they can do the most good. They place people -- and allow people to place themselves -- according to their strengths.
Peter Drucker
[Entrepreneurship] is by no means hunch or gamble. But it also is not precisely science. Rather, it is judgment.
Peter Drucker
The company is not and must never claim to be home, family, religion, life or fate for the individual. It must never interfere in his private life or his citizenship. He is tied to the company through a voluntary and cancellable employment contract, not through some mystical or indissoluble bond.
Peter Drucker
Without institution there is no management. But without management there is no institution.
Peter Drucker
Doing the right thing is more important than doing the thing right.
Peter Drucker
No one learns as much about a subject as one who is forced to teach it.
Peter Drucker
The moment people talk of implementing instead of doing, and of finalizing instead of finishing, the organization is already running a fever.
Peter Drucker
The Welfare State, which begun in Imperial Germany for the truly indigent and disabled, has now become everybody's entitlement and an increasing burden on those who produce.
Peter Drucker
[T]hroughout the ages to be educated meant to be unproductive.... our word school - and its equivalent in all European languages - derives from a Greek word meaning leisure.
Peter Drucker
There is nothing worse than doing the wrong thing well.
Peter Drucker
Executives do many things in addition to making decisions. But only executives make decisions. The first managerial skill is, therefore, the making of effective decisions.
Peter Drucker
To satisfy the customer is the mission and purpose of every business.
Peter Drucker
Defending yesterday is far more risky than making tomorrow.
Peter Drucker
To survive and succeed, every organization will have to turn itself into a change agent
Peter Drucker
We have only one alternative: either to build a functioning industrial society or see freedom itself disappear in anarchy and tyranny.
Peter Drucker
Any organisation develops people it either forms them or deforms them.
Peter Drucker
The computer, being a mechanical moron, can handle only quantifiable data.
Peter Drucker
The fewer data needed, the better the information. And an overload of information, that is, anything much beyond what is truly needed, leads to information blackout. It does not enrich, but impoverishes.
Peter Drucker
If general perception changes from seeing the glass as 'half-full' to seeing it as 'half empty' there are major innovative opportunities.
