The days of the 'intuitive' manager are numbered.
Peter Drucker
Image
To satisfy the customer is the mission and purpose of every business.
Peter Drucker
Image
The most important, and indeed the truly unique, contribution of management in the 20th century was the fifty-fold increase in the productivity of the MANUAL WORKER in manufacturing. The most important contribution management needs to make in the 21st century is similarly to increase the productivity of KNOWLEDGE WORK and the KNOWLEDGE WORKER.
Peter Drucker

Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.
Peter Drucker
Image
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 enterprise can fulfill its human and social functions only if it prospers as a business.
Peter Drucker
Image
An effective executive builds on strengths - their own strengths, the strengths of superiors, colleagues, subordinates, and on the strength of the situation.
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
Image
If the feudal knight was the clearest embodiment of society in the early Middle Ages, and the bourgeois under Capitalism, the educated person will represent society in the post-capitalist society in which knowledge has become the central resource.
Peter Drucker
Image
Every organization has to prepare for the abandonment of everything it does.
Peter Drucker
Image
The computer, being a mechanical moron, can handle only quantifiable data.
Peter Drucker
Image
When a resource is scarce, you increase its yield.
Peter Drucker
Image
The manager is a servant. His master is the institution he manages and his first responsibility must therefore be to it.
Peter Drucker
Image
A success that has outlived its usefulness may, in the end, be more damaging than failure.
Peter Drucker
Image
Conductors do not know how the oboe does its work, but they know what the oboe should contribute.
Peter Drucker
Image
Managing innovation will increasingly become a challenge to management, and especially to top management, and a touchstone of its competence.
