More quotes by Peter Drucker
Adversarial power relationships only work if you never have to see or work with the bastards again.
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
Quality in a service or product is not what you put into it. It is what the client or customer gets out of it.
Peter Drucker
The purpose of information is not knowledge. It is being able to take the right action.
Peter Drucker
Leaders shouldn?t attach moral significance to their ideas: Do that, and you can?t compromise.
Peter Drucker
Efficiency is doing better what is already being done.
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
Vision without execution is delusion. The joy is in the results
Peter Drucker
The fruit of your work grows on other people's trees
Peter Drucker
[Entrepreneurship] is by no means hunch or gamble. But it also is not precisely science. Rather, it is judgment.
Peter Drucker
Efficiency, which is doing things right, is irrelevant until you work on the right things.
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
If you want it, measure it. If you can't measure it, forget it.
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
Many studies of research scientists have shown that achievement (at least below the genius level of an Einstein, Bohr, or a Planck) depends less on ability in doing research than on the courage to go after opportunity.
Peter Drucker
The Pertinent Question is NOT how to do things right - but how to find the right things to do, and to concentrate resources and efforts on them.
Peter Drucker
Most people think they know what they are good at. They are usually wrong... And yet, a person can perform only from strength.
Peter Drucker
Fortunately or unfortunately, the one predictable thing in any organization is the crisis. That always comes. That's when you do depend on the leader: The job of the leader is to build an organization that is battle-ready, that has high morale, that knows how to behave, that trusts itself, and where people trust one another.
Peter Drucker
We live in an age of unprecedented opportunity: If you’ve got ambition and smarts, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession, regardless of where you started out.
Peter Drucker
Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.
Peter Drucker
