More quotes by Peter Drucker
Do the right things instead of trying to do everything right.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
Without institution there is no management. But without management there is no institution.
Peter Drucker
No one learns as much about a subject as one who is forced to teach it.
Peter Drucker
Don't try to innovate for the future. Innovate for the present!
Peter Drucker
If you want it, measure it. If you can't measure it, forget it.
Peter Drucker
Defending yesterday is far more risky than making tomorrow.
Peter Drucker
Accept the fact that we have to treat almost anybody as a volunteer.
Peter Drucker
Customers pay only for what is of use to them and gives them value. Nothing else constitutes quality.
Peter Drucker
The single most important thing to remember about any enterprise is that results exist only on the outside.The result of a business is a satisfied customer. The result of a hospital is a satisfied patient. The result of a school is a student who has learned something and puts it to work ten years later. Inside an enterprise there are only costs.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
Successful leaders don't start out asking, 'What do I want to do?' They ask, 'What needs to be done?' Then they ask, 'Of those things that would make a difference, which are right for me?'
Peter Drucker
When Henry Ford said, The customer can have a car in any color as long as it's black, he was not joking.
Peter Drucker
Leaders shouldn?t attach moral significance to their ideas: Do that, and you can?t compromise.
Peter Drucker
We have tried to substitute mass for purpose. We have tried to regain military potency of defense by making it gigantic, unwieldy, complex. It never works.
Peter Drucker
People in any organization, including bureaucrats and politicians, are always attached to the obsolete the obsolescent the things that should have worked but didn't the things that once were productive and no longer are.
Peter Drucker
Effective people are not problem minded they're opportunity-minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems. They think preventively.
Peter Drucker
We do not need more laws . No country suffers from a shortage of laws. We need a new model .
Peter Drucker
As with every phenomenon of the objective universe, the first step toward understanding work is to analyze it.
Peter Drucker
Charisma becomes the undoing of leaders. It makes them inflexible, convinced of their own infallibility, unable to change
