Peter Drucker

Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.

Leadership

Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.

Knowledge • Power

My greatest strength as a consultant is to be ignorant and ask a few questions.

Communication • Curiosity • Learning

Making good decisions is a crucial skill at every level.

Leadership • Personal Development • Success

When a subject becomes totally obsolete we make it a required course.

Education • Innovation • Technology

We now accept the fact that learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change. And the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn.

Education • Personal Development

No institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organized in such a way as to be able to get along under a leadership composed of average human beings.

Leadership

There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.

Priorities • Productivity • Time

A manager is responsible for the application and performance of knowledge.

Knowledge • Leadership • Performance

Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.

Leadership • Strategy

Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.

Education • Growth • Improvement

The entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it, and exploits it as an opportunity.

Entrepreneurship • Innovation • Risk

Never mind your happiness; do your duty.

Duty • Motivational • Responsibility

Rank does not confer privilege or give power. It imposes responsibility.

Leadership • Power • Responsibility
