Peter Drucker
Image
It’s up to you to carve out your place, to know when to change course, and to keep yourself engaged and productive during a work life that may span some 50 years.
Peter Drucker

The purpose of an organization is to enable ordinary humans beings to do extraordinary things.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
Image
Executives do many things in addition to making decisions. But only executives make decisions. The first managerial skill is, therefore, the making of effective decisions.
Peter Drucker
Image
The enterprise, by definition, must be capable of producing more or better than all the resources that comprise it.
Peter Drucker
Image
What we are good at comes easy, and we believe that unless it comes hard, it can't be very good.
