More quotes by 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
Vision without execution is delusion. The joy is in the results
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
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
The concept of profit maximization is, in fact, meaningless.
Peter Drucker
In the modern corporation the decisive power, that of the managers , is derived from no one but the managers themselves controlled by nobody and nothing and responsible to no one. It is in the most literal sense unfounded, unjustified, uncontrolled and irresponsible power.
Peter Drucker
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
We can say with certainty - or 90% probability - that the new industries that are about to be born will have nothing to do with information.
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
Managing innovation will increasingly become a challenge to management, and especially to top management, and a touchstone of its competence.
Peter Drucker
We have only one alternative: either to build a functioning industrial society or see freedom itself disappear in anarchy and tyranny.
Peter Drucker
Most discussions of decision making assume that only senior executives make decisions or that only senior executives' decisions matter. This is a dangerous mistake.
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
The experience of the human race indicates strongly that the only person in abundant supply is the universal incompetent.
Peter Drucker
Business exists to supply goods and services to customers and economic surplus to society, rather than to supply jobs to workers and managers or even dividends to shareholders.
Peter Drucker
You can't manage knowledge.Knowledge is between two ears and only between two ears.
Peter Drucker
To survive and succeed, every organization will have to turn itself into a change agent
Peter Drucker
As a manager you're paid to be uncomfortable. If you're comfortable, it's a sure sign you're doing things wrong.
Peter Drucker
The essence of management is to make knowledge productive.
Peter Drucker
One does not manage people. The task is to lead people.
Peter Drucker
