Leadership: Peter Drucker Said it the Best
On the front page of the Wall Street Journal Marketplace section today, Monday, November 14, 2005 there is an article under the column "In The Lead " by Carol Hymowitz titled "As Managers Climb, They Have to Learn How to Act the Parts" and on the bottom half of the same front page is the article by Scott Thurm and Joann S. Lublin on "Peter Drucker's Legacy Includes Simple Advice: It's All About the People".
How ironic. Why?
When reading both articles it is clear that the manager turned CEO in the first article could have benefited greatly from reading only one of Drucker's 39 books early in her career.
Peter Drucker is a legend in leadership. He was 95 years old when he passed away on Friday. And to most people's amazement he was still teaching and writing!
Drucker believed that when you create environments where people can shine, where people can be and do their best then everyone wins including the shareholders.
There are six Drucker lessons that are highlighted in the article under 'Management is About Human Beings'. The lessons are simple but profound and not easy to do.
Drucker had a profound impact on the leadership in this country and even on today's leaders. His art of asking questions and framing leadership will and has stood the test of time.
Now if all leaders would embrace the notion that it's all about the people our world would certainly be a different and I bet, a better place for all humankind.
