Praise for "The Drucker Lectures"
"Peter Drucker shined a light in a dark and chaotic world, and
his words remain as relevant today as when he first spoke them.
Drucker's lectures and thoughts deserve to be considered by every
person of responsibility, now, tomorrow, ten years from now, fifty,
and a hundred."
-Jim Collins, author of "Good to Great" and "How the Mighty
Fall"
"Rick Wartzman has brought Peter Drucker alive again, and
vividly so, in his own words. These samples of his talks and
lectures, because they were spoken not written, will be new to
almost all of us. A great and unexpected treat."
-Charles Handy, author of "Myself and Other More Important
Matters"
"Peter Drucker's ideas continue to resonate powerfully today.
His lectures on effectiveness, innovation, the social sector,
education and so much more provide fresh insights that extend
beyond his other writings and provide lessons for us all. This book
is a gem."
-Wendy Kopp, CEO and founder of Teach for America
"Rick Wartzman has performed a great service in pulling together
"The Drucker Lectures." The collection is as far-ranging as
Drucker's thinking and writing. If you have sampled Drucker before,
you will find things you haven't seen. Peter's ideas live on. You
will be energized by reading them anew."
-Paul O'Neill, former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury
"Peter Drucker inspires awe. From the 1940s until his death a
few years ago, he displayed a combination of insight, prescience,
and productivity that few will ever match. This superbly edited
collection captures both the range of Drucker's thinking and the
sweep of history that informed it. "The Drucker Lectures" is a
riveting read that reveals the depth and subtlety of one of
America's most remarkable minds."
-Daniel H. Pink, author of "A Whole New Mind" and "Drive"
"Rick Wartzman really has brought Peter to life in "The Drucker
Lectures." Reading this book, I practically felt as though I were
seated in the audience, listening to my friend and hero, Peter
Drucker-truly one of the great geniuses of management. These
lectures are as vital today as they were when Peter delivered them.
They cover significant territory, from the importance of faith and
the individual to the rise of the global economy. It's a classic
collection that belongs on every manager's bookshelf."
-Ken Blanchard, coauthor of "The One Minute Manager" and "Leading
at a Higher Level"
Previously unpublished talks from the Father of Modern
Management
Throughout his professional life, Peter F. Drucker inspired
millions of business leaders not only through his famous writings
but also through his lectures and keynotes. These speeches
contained some of his most valuable insights, but had never been
published in book form--until now.
"The Drucker Lectures" features more than 30 talks from one of
management's most important figures. Drawn from the Drucker
Archives at the Drucker Institute at Claremont Graduate University,
the lectures showcase Drucker's wisdom, wit, profundity, and
prescience on such topics as: Politics and economics of the
environment Knowledge workers and the Knowledge Society Computer
and information literacy Managing nonprofit organizations
Globalization
During his life, Drucker well understood that over the last 150
years the world had become a society of large institutions--and
that they would only become larger and more powerful. He contended
that unless these institutions were effectively managed and
ethically led, the good health of society as a whole would be in
peril. His prediction is unfolding before our eyes.
"The Drucker Lectures" is a timely, instructive book proving
that responsible behavior and good business can, in fact, exist
hand in hand.
