Never ask who's right. Start out by asking what is right. And you find that out by listening to dissenting, disagreeing opinions.
Peter Drucker
Image
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
Image
Doing the right thing is more important than doing the thing right.
Peter Drucker

Leadership is not rank, privileges, title or money. It is responsibility.
Peter Drucker
Image
Knowledge has become the key economic resource and the dominant-and perhaps even the only-source of competitive advantage.
Peter Drucker
Image
The tool user, provided the tool is made well, need not, and indeed should not, know anything about the tool.
Peter Drucker
Image
You can either take action, or you can hang back and hope for a miracle. Miracles are great, but they are so unpredictable.

Peter Drucker
Image
Loafing is easy, but leisure is difficult.
Peter Drucker
Image
There's no such thing as knowledge management there are only knowledgeable people. Information only becomes knowledge in the hands of someone who knows what to do with it.
Peter Drucker
Image
Defending yesterday is far more risky than making tomorrow.
Peter Drucker
Image
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
Image
People who need certainty are unlikely to make good entrepreneurs.
Peter Drucker
Image
Innovation requires us to systematically identify changes that have already occurred in a business - in demographics, in values, in technology or science - and then to look at them as opportunities. It also requires something that is most difficult for existing companies to do: to abandon rather than defend yesterday.
Peter Drucker

Mission defines strategy, and strategy defines structure.
