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
No one has ever failed to find the facts they are looking for.
Peter Drucker
We can ill afford to have activities conducted as non-profit, that is, as activities that devour capital rather than form it, if they can be organized as activities that form capital, as activities that make a profit.
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 race for Quality has no finish line - so technically, it's more like a death march. Efficiency is doing things right effectiveness is doing the right things.
Peter Drucker
Ideas are cheap and abundant what is of value is the effective placement of those ideas into situations that develop into action.
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
Important decisions are risky. They should be controversial. Acclamation means that nobody has done the homework.
Peter Drucker
Vision without execution is delusion. The joy is in the results
Peter Drucker
To make the future demands courage. It demands work. But it also demands faith.
Peter Drucker
To make knowledge productive, we will have to learn to see both forest and tree. We will have to learn to connect.
Peter Drucker
Keep your eye on the task, not on yourself. The task matters, and you are a servant
Peter Drucker
All good strategy eventually degenerates into work.
Peter Drucker
You can't manage what you don't measure.
Peter Drucker
Every few hundred years in Western history there occurs a sharp transformation. Within a few short decades, society - its worldview, its basic values, its social and political structures, its art, its key institutions - rearranges itself. We are currently living through such a time.
Peter Drucker
The individual needs the return to spiritual values, for he can survive in the present human situation only by reaffirming that man is not just a biological and psychological being but also a spiritual being, that is creature, and existing for the purposes of his Creator and subject to Him.
Peter Drucker
We can't make people better by trying to eliminate their weaknesses, but we can help then perform better by building on their strengths.
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
Management is not being brilliant. Management is being conscientious.
Peter Drucker
Fortunately or unfortunately, the one predictable thing in any organization is the crisis. That always comes. That's when you do depend on the leader: The job of the leader is to build an organization that is battle-ready, that has high morale, that knows how to behave, that trusts itself, and where people trust one another.
Peter Drucker
