Spontaneity is an infinite number of rehearsed possibilities.

Peter Drucker

Staffing the opportunities instead of the problems not only creates the most effective organization, it also creates enthusiasm and dedication.

Peter Drucker

Strong decision makers often put somebody they trust into the number two spot as their adviser – and in that position the person is outstanding. But in the number one spot, the same person fails. He or she knows what the decision should be but cannot accept the responsibility of actually making it.

Peter Drucker

Strong people have strong weaknesses.

Success always obsoletes the very behavior that achieved it.

Peter Drucker

Success in the knowledge economy comes to those who know themselves – their strengths, their values, and how they best perform.

Peter Drucker

Successful careers are not planned. They develop when people are prepared for opportunities because they know their strengths, their method of work, and their values.

Peter Drucker

Successful leaders don’t start out asking, ‘What do I want to do?’ They ask, ‘What needs to be done?’ Then they ask, ‘Of those things that would make a difference, which are right for me?’
