More quotes by Peter Drucker
Thus, for those who are willing to go out into the field, to look and to listen, changing demographics is both a highly productive and a highly dependable innovation opportunity.
Peter Drucker
Decisions of the kind the executive has to make are not made well by acclamation. They are made well only if based on the clash of conflicting views...The first rule in decision-making is that one does not make a decision unless there is disagreement.
Peter Drucker
The single most important thing to remember about any enterprise is that results exist only on the outside.The result of a business is a satisfied customer. The result of a hospital is a satisfied patient. The result of a school is a student who has learned something and puts it to work ten years later. Inside an enterprise there are only costs.
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

Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
The new information technology... Internet and e-mail... have practically eliminated the physical costs of communications.
Peter Drucker
It's amazing how many things busy people are doing that never will be missed.
Peter Drucker
Look at government programs for the past fifty years. Every single one - except warfare - achieved the exact opposite of its announced goal.
Peter Drucker
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
The subordinate's job is not to reform or reeducate the boss, not to make him conform to what the business schools or the management book say bosses should be like. It is to enable a particular boss to perform as a unique individual.
Peter Drucker
The talk you hear about adapting to change is not only stupid, it's dangerous. The only way you can manage change is to create it.
Peter Drucker
All good strategy eventually degenerates into work.
Peter Drucker
