More quotes by Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
Success? Odd as it seems, you will achieve the greates results in business and career if you drop the word 'achievement' from your vocabulary and replace it with 'contribution'.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
You cannot build performance on weaknesses. You can build only on strengths.
Peter Drucker
Far too much reorganization goes on all the time. Organizitis is like a spastic colon.

Peter Drucker
If general perception changes from seeing the glass as 'half-full' to seeing it as 'half empty' there are major innovative opportunities.
Peter Drucker
The best plan is only a plan... unless it degerates into work.
Peter Drucker
The most important contribution management needs to make in the 21st century is ... to increase the productivity of knowledge work and the knowledge worker
Peter Drucker
The worker's effectiveness is determined largely by the way he is being managed.
Peter Drucker
The most valuable assets of a 20th-century company were its production equipment. The most valuable assets of a 21st-century institution, whether business or nonbusiness, will be its knowledge, workers, and their productivity.
Peter Drucker
Concentration is the key to economic results. No other principle of effectiveness is violated as constantly today as the basic principle of concentration.... Our motto seems to be, Let's do a little bit of everything.
Peter Drucker
The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different.
Peter Drucker
To survive and succeed, every organization will have to turn itself into a change agent
