Leadership is not rank, privileges, title or money. It is responsibility.
Peter Drucker
Image
The relevant question is not simply what shall we do tomorrow, but rather what shall we do today in order to get ready for tomorrow.
Peter Drucker
Image
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

Nobody in the world is as good at making decisions as the Japanese.
Peter Drucker
Image

Knowing where one belongs can transform an ordinary person - hardworking and competent but otherwise mediocre - into an outstanding performer.
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
Image
Success? Odd as it seems, you will achieve the greates results in business and career if you drop the word 'achievement' from your vocabulary and replace it with 'contribution'.
Peter Drucker
Image
There are no creeds in mathematics.
Peter Drucker
Image
Adversarial power relationships only work if you never have to see or work with the bastards again.
Peter Drucker
Image
Only three things happen naturally in organizations: friction, confusion, and underperformance. Everything else requires leadership.
Peter Drucker
Image
The worker's effectiveness is determined largely by the way he is being managed.
Peter Drucker
Image
If a manager spends more than 10 percent of his time on human relations the group is probably too large.
Peter Drucker
Image
Systematic change requires a willingness to look on change as an opportunity.
Peter Drucker
