Description
Drucker Now
Get usable insights on work and life inspired by Peter F. Drucker, the father of modern management.
Peter Drucker – eminent author and winner of the Presidential Medal of Freedom – devoted more than 60 years to the study of how humans are organized across the business, government and nonprofit sectors of society. He personally advised General Motors and Sears when they were at their peak. Later, he provided counsel to Intel, Procter & Gamble, Toyota, and others.
Drucker predicted many of the major developments of the late twentieth century, including privatization and decentralization; the rise of Japan to economic world power; the decisive importance of marketing; and the emergence of the information society with its necessity of lifelong learning. "At Google," CEO Eric Schmidt wrote, "we think Drucker well understood how to manage the new breed of 'knowledge workers.' After all, he invented the term in 1959."
