More quotes by Peter Drucker
Adequacy is the enemy of excellence.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
For new technology to replace old, it has to have at least ten times the benefit.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
To arrive at the definition of the problem he must begin by finding the 'critical factor'. This is the element (or elements) in the situation that has to be changed before anything else can be changed, moved, acted upon.
Peter Drucker
Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.
Peter Drucker
Plastic moments are those periods that overlap when the old has gone but the new has not yet arrived and when the course of history is more open to being shaped and steered than any other time.
Peter Drucker
Vision without execution is delusion. The joy is in the results
Peter Drucker
Growth that adds volume without improving productivity is fat. Growth that diminishes productivity is cancer.

There's an enormous number of managers who have retired on the job.
Peter Drucker
