More quotes by Peter Drucker
The large organization has to learn to innovate, or it won't survive.
Peter Drucker
Effective people are not problem minded they're opportunity-minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems. They think preventively.
Peter Drucker
The individual is the central, rarest, most precious capital resource of our society.
Peter Drucker
The computer, being a mechanical moron, can handle only quantifiable data.
Peter Drucker
The worker's effectiveness is determined largely by the way he is being managed.
Peter Drucker
The essence of management is to make knowledge productive.
Peter Drucker
Tomorrow always arrives. It is always different. And even the mightiest company is in trouble if it has not worked on the future. Being surprised by what happens is a risk that even the largest and richest company cannot afford, and even the smallest business need not run.
Peter Drucker
The single most important thing to remember about any enterprise is that results exist only on the outside.The result of a business is a satisfied customer. The result of a hospital is a satisfied patient. The result of a school is a student who has learned something and puts it to work ten years later. Inside an enterprise there are only costs.
Peter Drucker
We know nothing about motivation. All we can do is write books about it.
Peter Drucker
Executives owe it to the organization and to their fellow workers not to tolerate nonperforming individuals in important jobs.
Peter Drucker
If you want to predict the future create it.
Peter Drucker
There is the general belief that the corporation income tax is a tax on the rich and on the fat cats. But with pension funds owning 30% of American large business-and soon to own 50%-the corporation income tax, in effect, eases the load on those in top income brackets and penalizes the beneficiaries of pension funds.
Peter Drucker
Defending yesterday is far more risky than making tomorrow.
Peter Drucker
Teaching 23-year-olds in an MBA programme strikes me as largely a waste of time. They lack the background of experience. You can teach them skills - accounting and what have you - but you can't teach them management.
Peter Drucker
Concentration is the key to economic results. No other principle of effectiveness is violated as constantly today as the basic principle of concentration.... Our motto seems to be, Let's do a little bit of everything.
Peter Drucker
Quality in a service or product is not what you put into it. It is what the client or customer gets out of it.
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 enterprise, by definition, must be capable of producing more or better than all the resources that comprise it.
Peter Drucker
...because knowledge rapidly deteriorates unless it is used constantly, maintaining within an organization an activity that is used only intermittently guarantees incompetence.
Peter Drucker
Nothing is less productive than to make more efficient what should not be done at all.
Peter Drucker
