More quotes by Peter Drucker
The days of the 'intuitive' manager are numbered.
Peter Drucker
One either meets or one works.
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
The best plan is only a plan... unless it degerates into work.
Peter Drucker
The large organization has to learn to innovate, or it won't survive.
Peter Drucker
What's measured improves
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
(Waste = Loss): The first rule of business is to survive and the guiding principle of business economics is not the maximisation of profit, it is the avoidance of loss
Peter Drucker
Keep your eye on the task, not on yourself. The task matters, and you are a servant
Peter Drucker
Nothing is less productive than to make more efficient what should not be done at all.
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
Successful careers are not planned. They develop when people are prepared for opportunities because they know their strengths, their method of work, and their values. Knowing where one belongs can transform an ordinary person - hardworking and competent but otherwise mediocre - into an outstanding performer.
Peter Drucker
Executives do many things in addition to making decisions. But only executives make decisions. The first managerial skill is, therefore, the making of effective decisions.
Peter Drucker
Of all the decisions an executive makes, none is as important as the decisions about people, because they determine the performance capacity of the organization.
Peter Drucker
A success that has outlived its usefulness may, in the end, be more damaging than failure.
Peter Drucker
No one learns as much about a subject as one who is forced to teach it.
Peter Drucker
Leadership is not rank, privileges, title or money. It is responsibility.
Peter Drucker
[T]hroughout the ages to be educated meant to be unproductive.... our word school - and its equivalent in all European languages - derives from a Greek word meaning leisure.
Peter Drucker
The concept of profit maximization is, in fact, meaningless.
Peter Drucker
Don't take on things you don't believe in and that you yourself are not good at. Learn to say no. Effective leaders match the objective needs of their company with the subjective competencies. As a result, they get an enormous amount of things done fast.
Peter Drucker
