"The organization is, above all, social. It..." - Quote by Peter Drucker

“Morale in an organization does not mean that "people get along together"; the test is performance not conformance.”

“The strength of the computer lies in its being a logic machine. It does precisely what it is programed to do. This makes it fast and precise. It also makes it a total moron; for logic is essentially stupid.”

“The purpose of information is not knowledge. It is being able to take the right action.”

“Executives owe it to the organization and to their fellow workers not to tolerate nonperforming individuals in important jobs.”

“Top management as a function and as a structure was first developed by Georg von Siemens (1839-1901) in Germany between 1870 and 1880, when he designed and built the Deutsche Bank and made it, within a very few years, into continental Europe's leading and most dynamic financial institution.”

“...because knowledge rapidly deteriorates unless it is used constantly, maintaining within an organization an activity that is used only intermittently guarantees incompetence.”

“It is with rivers as it is with people: the greatest are not always the most agreeable nor the best to live with.”

“I don't pose as an authority on anything at all, I follow the opinions of the ordinary people I meet, and I take pride in the close-knit teamwork with my organization.”

“I would rather go to bed with Lillian Russell stark naked than Ulysses S Grant in full military regalia.”
