More quotes by Peter Drucker
The purpose of an organization is to enable ordinary humans beings to do extraordinary things.
Peter Drucker
An employer has no business with a man's personality... The task is not to change personality, but to enable a person to achieve and to perform.
Peter Drucker
You cannot prevent a major catastrophe, but you can build an organization that is battle-ready, where people trust one another. In military training, the first rule is to instill soldiers with trust in their officers - because without trust, they won't fight.
Peter Drucker
One does not manage people. The task is to lead people.
Peter Drucker
Trust is congruence between what you say and what you do.
Peter Drucker
If the feudal knight was the clearest embodiment of society in the early Middle Ages, and the bourgeois under Capitalism, the educated person will represent society in the post-capitalist society in which knowledge has become the central resource.
Peter Drucker
The job of a professional manager is not to like people. It is not to change people. It is to put their strengths to work.
Peter Drucker
The company is not and must never claim to be home, family, religion, life or fate for the individual. It must never interfere in his private life or his citizenship. He is tied to the company through a voluntary and cancellable employment contract, not through some mystical or indissoluble bond.
Peter Drucker
Every single social and global issue of our day is a business opportunity in disguise.
Peter Drucker
A fundamental responsibility of leadership is make sure that everybody knows the mission, understands it, lives it.
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
Change is the norm unless an organization sees that its task is to lead change, that organization will not survive.
Peter Drucker
The enterprise that does not innovate ages and declines. And in a period of rapid change such as the present, the decline will be fast.
Peter Drucker
No one learns as much about a subject as one who is forced to teach it.
Peter Drucker
The days of the 'intuitive' manager are numbered.
Peter Drucker
The most important, and indeed the truly unique, contribution of management in the 20th century was the fifty-fold increase in the productivity of the MANUAL WORKER in manufacturing. The most important contribution management needs to make in the 21st century is similarly to increase the productivity of KNOWLEDGE WORK and the KNOWLEDGE WORKER.
Peter Drucker
People who need certainty are unlikely to make good entrepreneurs.
Peter Drucker
Time is the scarcest resource.
Peter Drucker
Don't solve problems. Pursue opportunities.
Peter Drucker
When Henry Ford said, The customer can have a car in any color as long as it's black, he was not joking.
