Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
The essence of management is to make knowledge productive.
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
Decision making is the specific executive task.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
The talk you hear about adapting to change is not only stupid, it's dangerous. The only way you can manage change is to create it.
Peter Drucker
Plans are worthless, but planning is invaluable.
Peter Drucker
People in any organization, including bureaucrats and politicians, are always attached to the obsolete the obsolescent the things that should have worked but didn't the things that once were productive and no longer are.
Peter Drucker
All companies are service companies some also manufacture products.
Peter Drucker
