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
Image
Managing innovation will increasingly become a challenge to management, and especially to top management, and a touchstone of its competence.
Peter Drucker
Image
Knowledge is power, which is why people who had it in the past often tried to make a secret of it. In post-capitalism, power comes from transmitting information to make it productive, not from hiding it.
Peter Drucker
Image
Universities won't survive. The future is outside the traditional campus, outside the traditional classroom. Distance learning is coming on fast.
Peter Drucker
Image
Effective people are not problem minded they're opportunity-minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems. They think preventively.
Peter Drucker

Keep your eye on the task, not on yourself. The task matters, and you are a servant
Peter Drucker

In a rural society communities are given for the individual. Community is a fact, whether family or religion, social class or caste.
Peter Drucker
Image
Leadership is not rank, privileges, title or money. It is responsibility.
Peter Drucker
Image
Every single social and global issue of our day is a business opportunity in disguise.
Peter Drucker
Image
The area in which the executive first encounters the challenge of strength is in staffing. The effective executive fills positions and promotes on the basis of what a man can do. He does not make staffing decisions to minimize weaknesses but to maximize strength.
Peter Drucker
Image
Growth that adds volume without improving productivity is fat. Growth that diminishes productivity is cancer.
Peter Drucker
Image
What can I contribute that will significantly affect the performance and the results of the institution I serve?
Peter Drucker
Image
There are no creeds in mathematics.
Peter Drucker
Image
Education can no longer be the sole property of the state.
Peter Drucker
Image
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
Image
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.
