More quotes by Peter Drucker
One cannot manage change. One can only be ahead of it.
Peter Drucker
One cannot hire a hand the whole man always comes with it.
Peter Drucker
What people in business think they know about the customer and market is likely to be more wrong than right...the customer rarely buys what the business thinks it sells him.
Peter Drucker
Too many leaders try to do a little bit of 25 things and get nothing done. They are very popular because they always say yes. But they get nothing done.
Peter Drucker
A manager's task is to make the strengths of people effective and their weakness irrelevant - and that applies fully as much to the manager's boss as it applies to the manager's subordinates.
Peter Drucker
Meetings are a symptom of bad organization. The fewer meetings the better.
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
Time is the scarcest resource and unless it is managed nothing else can be managed.
Peter Drucker
[T]hroughout the ages to be educated meant to be unproductive.... our word school - and its equivalent in all European languages - derives from a Greek word meaning leisure.
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
An established company which, in an age demanding innovation, is not able to innovation, is doomed to decline and extinction.
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
We do not need more laws . No country suffers from a shortage of laws. We need a new model .
Peter Drucker
One does not manage people. The task is to lead people.
Peter Drucker
I find more and more executives less and less well informed about the outside world, if only because they believe that the data on the computer printouts are ipso facto information.
Peter Drucker
Because its purpose is to create a customer, the business enterprise has two - and only these two — basic functions: marketing and innovation. Marketing and innovation produce results all the rest are 'costs'.
Peter Drucker
What's absolutely unforgivable is the financial benefit top management people get for laying off people. There's no excuse for it. No justification. No explanation. This is morally and socially unforgivable, and we'll pay a very nasty price.
Peter Drucker
There is the risk you cannot afford to take, and there is the risk you cannot afford not to take.
Peter Drucker
It has been said, and only half in jest, that a tough, professionally led union is a great force for improving management performance. It forces the manager to think about what he is doing and to be able to explain his actions and behavior.
Peter Drucker
The task of leadership is to create an alignment of strengths so strong that it makes the system's weaknesses irrelevant.
Peter Drucker
