More quotes by Peter Drucker
The single minded ones, the monomaniacs, are the only true achievers
Peter Drucker
Objectives are not commands they are commitments.
Peter Drucker
Some of the best business and nonprofit CEOs I've worked with over a sixty-five-year consulting career were not stereotypical leaders. They were all over the map in terms of their personalities, attitudes, values, strengths, and weaknesses.
Peter Drucker
Ideas are cheap and abundant what is of value is the effective placement of those ideas into situations that develop into action.
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
Absolute size by itself is no indicator of success and achievement, let alone of managerial competence. Being the right size is.
Peter Drucker
Accept the fact that we have to treat almost anybody as a volunteer.
Peter Drucker
No one learns as much about a subject as one who is forced to teach it.
Peter Drucker
The more successful the unit, the more difficult it is to make sure that the large company doesn't put the same expectations on it as it does for the rest of the company. When it's a new venture, whether it's outside or inside the business, it's a child. And you don't put a 40-pound pack on a 6-year-old's back when you take her hiking.
Peter Drucker
To make the future demands courage. It demands work. But it also demands faith.
Peter Drucker
No one has ever failed to find the facts they are looking for.
Peter Drucker
The only things that evolve by themselves in an organization are disorder, friction and malperformance.
Peter Drucker
The Welfare State, which begun in Imperial Germany for the truly indigent and disabled, has now become everybody's entitlement and an increasing burden on those who produce.
Peter Drucker
The key to greatness is to look for people's potential and spend time developing it.
Peter Drucker
Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.
Peter Drucker
If you want it, measure it. If you can't measure it, forget it.
Peter Drucker
The honest work of yesterday has lost its social status, its social esteem.
Peter Drucker
Brilliant men are often strikingly ineffectual. They fail to realize that the brilliant insight is not by itself achievement. They never have learned that insights become effectiveness only through hard systematic work.
Peter Drucker
Tomorrow always arrives. It is always different. And even the mightiest company is in trouble if it has not worked on the future. Being surprised by what happens is a risk that even the largest and richest company cannot afford, and even the smallest business need not run.
Peter Drucker
The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different.
Peter Drucker
