More quotes by Peter Drucker
Success in the knowledge economy comes to those who know themselves - their strengths, their values, and how they best perform.
Peter Drucker
Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.
Peter Drucker
Promotion should not be more important than accomplishment, or avoiding instability more important than taking the right risk.
Peter Drucker
If a manager spends more than 10 percent of his time on human relations the group is probably too large.
Peter Drucker
Every enterprise is learning and teaching institution. Training and development must be built into it on all levels, training and development that never stop.
Peter Drucker
The essence of management is to make knowledge productive.
Peter Drucker
We've spent the last 30 years focusing on the T in IT, and we'll spend the next 30 years focusing on the I.
Peter Drucker
Leadership is lifting a person's vision to high sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.
Peter Drucker
True marketing starts...with the customer, his demographics, his realities, his needs, his values. It does not ask, What do we want to sell? It asks, What does the customer want to buy?
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
Keep your eye on the task, not on yourself. The task matters, and you are a servant
Peter Drucker
Plans are worthless, but planning is invaluable.
Peter Drucker
The Pertinent Question is NOT how to do things right - but how to find the right things to do, and to concentrate resources and efforts on them.
Peter Drucker
Systematic change requires a willingness to look on change as an opportunity.
Peter Drucker
Charisma becomes the undoing of leaders. It makes them inflexible, convinced of their own infallibility, unable to change
Peter Drucker
Knowledge is power, which is why people who had it in the past often tried to make a secret of it. In post-capitalism, power comes from transmitting information to make it productive, not from hiding it.
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
Marketing is the distinguishing, unique function of the business.
Peter Drucker
Succession planning often results in the selection of a weaker representation of yourself.
Peter Drucker
One cannot hire a hand the whole man always comes with it.
Peter Drucker
