Today we will be reviewing and riffing off of The Essential Drucker, which is a 350-page compilation of some of Peter F. Drucker’s most notable writings.  And for those of you who may not know, Peter Drucker, referred to by some as the "Father of Modern Management," was a journalist-turned-management consultant who made it his life’s work to understand and communicate the practices of management and leadership as he witnessed them unfold.  Drucker also became a major figure in the development of management education and first introduced the now widely known and practiced concept of “management by objectives.”  Born in 1909, Mr. Drucker was in his mid-30’s when he began to witness the evolution of the first corporate enterprises—entities that are now both ubiquitous in developed societies and aligned with what we refer to today as “modern management.”  And, according to John Byrnes and Lyndsey Gerdes in their article, “The Man who Invented Management,” he predicted many of the major developments of the late 20th 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 and that society’s most critical component, the knowledge worker, which is a term Drucker coined in 1959.
