More quotes by Peter Drucker
The only industries that function well are the industries that take responsibility for training. The Japanese, you know, assume that when you first come to work you know absolutely nothing. School isn't preparation for work and never was.
Peter Drucker
The need to manage oneself is creating a revolution in human affairs.
Peter Drucker
Most people think they know what they are good at. They are usually wrong... And yet, a person can perform only from strength.
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
It has been said, and only half in jest, that a tough, professionally led union is a great force for improving management performance. It forces the manager to think about what he is doing and to be able to explain his actions and behavior.
Peter Drucker
You cannot build performance on weaknesses. You can build only on strengths.
Peter Drucker
The area in which the executive first encounters the challenge of strength is in staffing. The effective executive fills positions and promotes on the basis of what a man can do. He does not make staffing decisions to minimize weaknesses but to maximize strength.
Peter Drucker
The first organization structure in the modern West was laid down in the canon law of the Catholic Church eight hundred years ago.
Peter Drucker
We live in an age of unprecedented opportunity: If you’ve got ambition and smarts, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession, regardless of where you started out.
Peter Drucker
Any time I have seen someone accomplishing something magnificent, they have been a monomaniac with a mission. A single-minded individual with a passion.
Peter Drucker
One does not start with facts. One starts with opinions.
Peter Drucker
We do not need more laws . No country suffers from a shortage of laws. We need a new model .
Peter Drucker
Political freedom is neither easy nor automatic, neither pleasant nor secure. It is the responsibility of the individual for the decisions of society as if they were his own decisions-as in moral truth and accountability they are.
Peter Drucker
Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.
Peter Drucker
Capitalism is being attacked not because it is inefficient or misgoverned but because it is cynical. And indeed a society based on the assertion that private vices become public benefits cannot endure, no matter how impeccable its logic, no matter how great its benefits.
Peter Drucker
Entrepreneurship is neither a science nor an art. It is a practice.
Peter Drucker
What people in business think they know about the customer and market is likely to be more wrong than right...the customer rarely buys what the business thinks it sells him.
Peter Drucker
The corporation is the master, the employee is the servant. Because the corporation owns the means of production without which the employee could not make a living, the employee needs the corporation more than vice versa.
Peter Drucker
The fewer data needed, the better the information. And an overload of information, that is, anything much beyond what is truly needed, leads to information blackout. It does not enrich, but impoverishes.
Peter Drucker
Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship. The act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth.
