One cannot manage change.

One can only be ahead of it.

A change leader sees change as an opportunity.

– Peter F. Drucker

(Adapted from “Management Challenges for 21st Century”, P.73)

Change has to be managed.

An Institution whether a Government, a University, a Business,

a Labor Union, an Army can only maintain Continuity is by

building systematic organized innovation into its very structure.

– Peter F. Drucker

(Adapted from “The Ecological Vision: Reflections on the American Condition”, P.445)

“One cannot manage change. One can only be ahead of it.”

In a period of upheavals, such as the one we are living in, change is the norm.

To be sure, it is painful and risky, and above all it requires a great deal of very hard work.

But unless it is seen as the task of the organization to lead change, the organization will not survive.

In a period of rapid structural change, the only ones who survive are the change leaders.

A change leader sees changes as an opportunity.

A change leader looks for change, knows how to find the right changes,

and know how to make them effective both outside the organization and inside it.

To try to make the future is highly risky. It is less risky, however, than not to try to make it.

A goodly proportion of those attempting to will surely not succeed. But predictably, no one else will.

(Adapted from “Management Challenges for 21st Century”, P.73 & P.93)
