More quotes by 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
Our job in life is to make a positive difference, not prove we're right.
Peter Drucker
Nothing else, perhaps, distinguishes effective executives as much as their tender loving care of time.
Peter Drucker
The problem in my life and other people's lives is not the absence of knowing what to do but the absence of doing it.
Peter Drucker
What is the major problem? It is fundamentally the confusion between effectiveness and efficiency that stands between doing the right things and doing things right. There is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency what should not be done at all.
Peter Drucker
One either meets or one works.
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
The world economy is not yet a community--not even an economic community...Yet the existence of the global shopping center is a fact that cannot be undone. The vision of an economy for all will not be forgotten again.
Peter Drucker
We always remember best the irrelevant.
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
Nothing is less productive than to make more efficient what should not be done at all.
Peter Drucker
During periods of discontinuous, abrupt change, the essence of adaptation involves a keen sensitivity to what should be abandoned - not what should be changed or introduced. A willingness to depart from the familiar has distinct survival value.
Peter Drucker
We have tried to substitute mass for purpose. We have tried to regain military potency of defense by making it gigantic, unwieldy, complex. It never works.
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
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
If you want it, measure it. If you can't measure it, forget it.
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
One does not start with facts. One starts with opinions.
Peter Drucker
For new technology to replace old, it has to have at least ten times the benefit.
Peter Drucker
Most of what you hear about entrepreneurshi p is all wrong. It's not magic it's not mysterious and it has nothing to do with genes. It's a discipline and, like any discipline, it can be learned.
Peter Drucker
