Peter Drucker
The better a man is the more mistakes will he make – for the more new things he will try.
Peter Drucker
You can't manage what you don't measure.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
To survive and succeed, every organization will have to turn itself into a change agent
Peter Drucker
[T]hroughout the ages to be educated meant to be unproductive.... our word school - and its equivalent in all European languages - derives from a Greek word meaning leisure.
Peter Drucker
The only things that evolve by themselves in an organization are disorder, friction and malperformance.
Peter Drucker
One cannot hire a hand the whole man always comes with it.
Peter Drucker
