More quotes by Peter Drucker
Charisma becomes the undoing of leaders. It makes them inflexible, convinced of their own infallibility, unable to change
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
Successful careers are not planned. They develop when people are prepared for opportunities because they know their strengths, their method of work, and their values. Knowing where one belongs can transform an ordinary person - hardworking and competent but otherwise mediocre - into an outstanding performer.
Peter Drucker
Time is the scarcest resource and unless it is managed nothing else can be managed.
Peter Drucker
No one has ever failed to find the facts they are looking for.
Peter Drucker

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

Peter Drucker
There are two types of people in the business community: those who produce results and those who give you reasons why they didn't.
Peter Drucker
Important decisions are risky. They should be controversial. Acclamation means that nobody has done the homework.
Peter Drucker
Adequacy is the enemy of excellence.
Peter Drucker
All companies are service companies some also manufacture products.
Peter Drucker
There are only two things in a business that make money - innovation and marketing, everything else is cost.
Peter Drucker
Don't solve problems. Pursue opportunities.
Peter Drucker
There is no perfect strategic decision. One always has to pay a price. One always has to balance conflicting objectives, conflicting opinions, and conflicting priorities. The best strategic decision is only an approximation - and a risk.
Peter Drucker
