More quotes by Peter Drucker
Objectives are not commands they are commitments.
Peter Drucker
The worker's effectiveness is determined largely by the way he is being managed.
Peter Drucker
Effective organizations put people in jobs in which they can do the most good. They place people -- and allow people to place themselves -- according to their strengths.
Peter Drucker
Effective people are not problem minded they're opportunity-minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems. They think preventively.
Peter Drucker
You cannot build performance on weaknesses. You can build only on strengths.
Peter Drucker
The most efficient way to produce anything is to bring together under one management as many as possible of the activities needed to turn out the product.
Peter Drucker
Trust is congruence between what you say and what you do.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well the product or service fits him and sells itself.
Peter Drucker
We no longer even understand the question whether change is by itself good or bad, ...We start out with the axiom that it is the norm. We do not see change as altering the order... We see change as being order itself - indeed the only order we can comprehend today is a dynamic, a moving, a changing one.
Peter Drucker
One does not manage people. The task is to lead people.
Peter Drucker
And no matter how serious an environmental problem the automobile poses in today's big city, the horse was dirtier, smelled worse, killed and maimed more people, and congested the streets just as much.
Peter Drucker
The productivity of people requires continuous learning, as the Japanese have taught us. It requires adoption in the West of the specific Japanese Zen concept where one learns to do better what one already does well.
Peter Drucker
The days of the 'intuitive' manager are numbered.
Peter Drucker
Do not measure your life by your goals but what you are doing to achieve them.
Peter Drucker
The task of leadership is to create an alignment of strengths so strong that it makes the system's weaknesses irrelevant.
Peter Drucker
The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different.
Peter Drucker
