More quotes by Peter Drucker
Leadership is not rank, privileges, title or money. It is responsibility.
Peter Drucker
The manager is a servant. His master is the institution he manages and his first responsibility must therefore be to it.
Peter Drucker
An employer has no business with a man's personality... The task is not to change personality, but to enable a person to achieve and to perform.
Peter Drucker
Entrepreneurship is neither a science nor an art. It is a practice.
Peter Drucker
The tool user, provided the tool is made well, need not, and indeed should not, know anything about the tool.
Peter Drucker
Marketing is the distinguishing, unique function of the business.
Peter Drucker
What we need is an entrepreneurial society in which innovation and entrepreneurship are normal, steady and continuous.
Peter Drucker
Nobody in the world is as good at making decisions as the Japanese.
Peter Drucker
Organizationally what is required - and evolving - is systems management.
Peter Drucker
One cannot hire a hand the whole man always comes with it.
Peter Drucker
Marketing is not only much broader than selling, it is not a specialized activity at all. It encompasses the entire business. It is the whole business seen from the point of view of its final result, that is, from the customer's point of view.
Peter Drucker
Business exists to supply goods and services to customers and economic surplus to society, rather than to supply jobs to workers and managers or even dividends to shareholders.
Peter Drucker
The enterprise, by definition, must be capable of producing more or better than all the resources that comprise it.
Peter Drucker
It is easier to raise the performance of one leader than it is to raise the performance of a whole mass.
Peter Drucker
Don't take on things you don't believe in and that you yourself are not good at. Learn to say no. Effective leaders match the objective needs of their company with the subjective competencies. As a result, they get an enormous amount of things done fast.
Peter Drucker
One has to make a decision when a condition is likely to degenerate if nothing is done.
Peter Drucker
The enterprise can fulfill its human and social functions only if it prospers as a business.
Peter Drucker
The only things that evolve by themselves in an organization are disorder, friction and malperformance.
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
Nothing else, perhaps, distinguishes effective executives as much as their tender loving care of time.
Peter Drucker
