More quotes by Peter Drucker

It also requires something that is most difficult for existing companies to do: to abandon rather than defend yesterday.
Peter Drucker
The productivity of work is not the responsibility of the worker but of the manager.
Peter Drucker
The first organization structure in the modern West was laid down in the canon law of the Catholic Church eight hundred years ago.

The days of the 'intuitive' manager are numbered.
Peter Drucker
The single most important thing to remember about any enterprise is that results exist only on the outside.The result of a business is a satisfied customer. The result of a hospital is a satisfied patient. The result of a school is a student who has learned something and puts it to work ten years later. Inside an enterprise there are only costs.
Peter Drucker
Successful leaders don't start out asking, 'What do I want to do?' They ask, 'What needs to be done?' Then they ask, 'Of those things that would make a difference, which are right for me?'
Peter Drucker
When it rains manna from heaven, some people put up an umbrella. Others reach for a big spoon.
Peter Drucker
The corporation is the master, the employee is the servant. Because the corporation owns the means of production without which the employee could not make a living, the employee needs the corporation more than vice versa.
Peter Drucker
Nothing else, perhaps, distinguishes effective executives as much as their tender loving care of time.
Peter Drucker
Of those things that would make a difference, which are right for me?
Peter Drucker
There are no creeds in mathematics.
Peter Drucker
Success always obsoletes the very behavior that achieved it.
