More quotes by Peter Drucker
We've spent the last 30 years focusing on the T in IT, and we'll spend the next 30 years focusing on the I.
Peter Drucker
The worker's effectiveness is determined largely by the way he is being managed.
Peter Drucker
What is the major problem? It is fundamentally the confusion between effectiveness and efficiency that stands between doing the right things and doing things right. There is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency what should not be done at all.
Peter Drucker
Now that knowledge is taking the place of capital as the driving force in organizations worldwide, it is all too easy to confuse data with knowledge and information technology with information.
Peter Drucker
Salvation by society failed the most where it promised the most, in the communist countries. But it also failed in the West. Practically no government program enacted since the 1950s in the Western world - or in the communist countries - has been successful.
Peter Drucker
Tomorrow always arrives. It is always different. And even the mightiest company is in trouble if it has not worked on the future. Being surprised by what happens is a risk that even the largest and richest company cannot afford, and even the smallest business need not run.
Peter Drucker
To make knowledge productive, we will have to learn to see both forest and tree. We will have to learn to connect.
Peter Drucker
The moment people talk of implementing instead of doing, and of finalizing instead of finishing, the organization is already running a fever.
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
If socialism is defined as ownership of the means of production--and this is both the orthodox and the only rigorous definition--then the United States is the first truly Socialist country.
Peter Drucker
Ideas are cheap and abundant what is of value is the effective placement of those ideas into situations that develop into action.
Peter Drucker
It takes far less energy to move from first-rate performance to excellence than it does to move from incompetence to mediocrity.
Peter Drucker
Teaching 23-year-olds in an MBA programme strikes me as largely a waste of time. They lack the background of experience. You can teach them skills - accounting and what have you - but you can't teach them management.
Peter Drucker
Our most important education system is in the employees' own organization.
Peter Drucker
Don't try to innovate for the future. Innovate for the present!
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
The Pertinent Question is NOT how to do things right - but how to find the right things to do, and to concentrate resources and efforts on them.
Peter Drucker
Look upon every obstacle as part payment towards your success.
Peter Drucker
The really important things are said over cocktails and are never done.
Peter Drucker
If you want to predict the future create it.
