More quotes by Peter Drucker
The enterprise can fulfill its human and social functions only if it prospers as a business.
Peter Drucker
The most effective way to manage change is to create it.
Peter Drucker
A business is not defined by its name, statutes, or articles of incorporation. It is defined by the business mission. Only a clear definition of the mission and purpose of the organization makes possible clear and realistic business objectives.
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
Without institution there is no management. But without management there is no institution.
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
Our job in life is to make a positive difference, not prove we're right.
Peter Drucker
The more successful the unit, the more difficult it is to make sure that the large company doesn't put the same expectations on it as it does for the rest of the company. When it's a new venture, whether it's outside or inside the business, it's a child. And you don't put a 40-pound pack on a 6-year-old's back when you take her hiking.
Peter Drucker
Marketing is the distinguishing, unique function of the business.
Peter Drucker
Time is the scarcest resource.
Peter Drucker
Organizationally what is required - and evolving - is systems management.
Peter Drucker
A fundamental responsibility of leadership is make sure that everybody knows the mission, understands it, lives it.
Peter Drucker
The greatest change in corporate culture - and the way business is being conducted - may be the accelerated growth of relationships based... on partnership.
Peter Drucker
The really important things are said over cocktails and are never done.
Peter Drucker
What's measured improves
Peter Drucker
Any organisation develops people it either forms them or deforms them.
Peter Drucker
Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.
Peter Drucker
Effective people are not problem minded they're opportunity-minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems. They think preventively.
Peter Drucker
Management means, in the last analysis, the substitution of thought for brawn and muscle, of knowledge for folkways and superstition, and of cooperation for force. It means the substitution of responsibility for obedience to rank, and of authority of performance for the authority of rank.
Peter Drucker
It's amazing how many things busy people are doing that never will be missed.
Peter Drucker
