More quotes by Peter Drucker
The really important things are said over cocktails and are never done.
Peter Drucker
What's absolutely unforgivable is the financial benefit top management people get for laying off people. There's no excuse for it. No justification. No explanation. This is morally and socially unforgivable, and we'll pay a very nasty price.
Peter Drucker
Meetings are a symptom of bad organization. The fewer meetings the better.
Peter Drucker
Everybody has accepted by now that change is unavoidable. But that still implies that change is like death and taxes - it should be postponed as long as possible and no change would be vastly preferable. But in a period of upheaval, such as the one we are living in, change is the norm.
Peter Drucker
You can't manage knowledge.Knowledge is between two ears and only between two ears.
Peter Drucker
Executives owe it to the organization and to their fellow workers not to tolerate nonperforming individuals in important jobs.
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
I find more and more executives less and less well informed about the outside world, if only because they believe that the data on the computer printouts are ipso facto information.
Peter Drucker
You can't manage what you don't measure.
Peter Drucker
Do the right things instead of trying to do everything right.
Peter Drucker
The talk you hear about adapting to change is not only stupid, it's dangerous. The only way you can manage change is to create it.
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
When a resource is scarce, you increase its yield.
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
It is easier to raise the performance of one leader than it is to raise the performance of a whole mass.
Peter Drucker
We can ill afford to have activities conducted as non-profit, that is, as activities that devour capital rather than form it, if they can be organized as activities that form capital, as activities that make a profit.
Peter Drucker
Of those things that would make a difference, which are right for me?
Peter Drucker
Every enterprise is learning and teaching institution. Training and development must be built into it on all levels, training and development that never stop.
Peter Drucker
The single minded ones, the monomaniacs, are the only true achievers
Peter Drucker
Culture eats Christianity for breakfast.
Peter Drucker
