More quotes by Peter Drucker
Loafing is easy, but leisure is difficult.
Peter Drucker
Every few hundred years in Western history there occurs a sharp transformation. Within a few short decades, society - its worldview, its basic values, its social and political structures, its art, its key institutions - rearranges itself. We are currently living through such a time.
Peter Drucker
Many studies of research scientists have shown that achievement (at least below the genius level of an Einstein, Bohr, or a Planck) depends less on ability in doing research than on the courage to go after opportunity.
Peter Drucker
The problem in my life and other people's lives is not the absence of knowing what to do but the absence of doing it.
Peter Drucker
Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.
Peter Drucker
The days of the 'intuitive' manager are numbered.
Peter Drucker
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
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
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
We no longer even understand the question whether change is by itself good or bad, ...We start out with the axiom that it is the norm. We do not see change as altering the order... We see change as being order itself - indeed the only order we can comprehend today is a dynamic, a moving, a changing one.
Peter Drucker
Providing more desirable products, services, and customer experiences is vital to the continued existence of any business. And that is INNOVATION.
Peter Drucker
The world political system is till based on the concept of the national sovereign state. For the first time therefore, in three hundred years economy and sovereignty are becoming divorced from each other.
Peter Drucker
Spontaneity is an infinite number of rehearsed possibilities.
Peter Drucker
The area in which the executive first encounters the challenge of strength is in staffing. The effective executive fills positions and promotes on the basis of what a man can do. He does not make staffing decisions to minimize weaknesses but to maximize strength.
Peter Drucker
There are two types of people in the business community: those who produce results and those who give you reasons why they didn't.
Peter Drucker
Do not measure your life by your goals but what you are doing to achieve them.
Peter Drucker
In the Western tradition, we have focused on teaching as a skill and forgotten what Socrates knew: teaching is a gift, learning is a skill.
Peter Drucker
Executives owe it to the organization and to their fellow workers not to tolerate nonperforming individuals in important jobs.
Peter Drucker
The enterprise, by definition, must be capable of producing more or better than all the resources that comprise it.
Peter Drucker
Mother Teresa's numerical results were not her greatest contribution. Instead, she made the world-and especially India-conscious of compassion.
Peter Drucker
