Overview

Peter F. Drucker, Austrian-born American management consultant, educator, and author, whose writings contributed to the philosophical and practical foundations of the modern business corporation. He was also a leader in the development of management education, and he invented the concept known as management by objectives. From 1975 to 1979, the author studied under one of the greatest management educators and thought-leaders of all time: Peter Drucker. What Drucker taught him literally changed his life. Now, in this warm and inspiring read, the author shares the insights he gained as the first-ever graduate of Drucker's doctoral program and teaches readers how Druker's game-changing ideas stand the test of time in the face of real-world workplace challenges today. This book shares many of Drucker's teachings that never made it into his countless books and articles--ideas that were offered to his students in classroom or informal settings. The author expands on Drucker's lessons with personal anecdotes about his teacher's personality, lack of pretension, and interactions with students and others. Having gone on from Drucker's teachings to become an Air Force general and eventually professor, management consultant, multibook author, and university president, the author is a testament to the lifechanging impact of Drucker's teachings and friendship. Enlightening and intriguing, this book allows you, too, to learn and grow from the timeless wisdom of a most inspiring man.
