Why Drucker Now?
The Drucker Centennial is a time of commemoration, celebration, and renewal, which was crowned by a week of special events at Claremont Graduate University in November 2009 and supplemented by other activities from Fall 2008-2010. It marks the 100th birthday of Peter F. Drucker, the father of modern management; author of 39 books on organizational behavior, innovation, economy, and society; and winner of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The timing couldn’t be more urgent. With financial markets in crisis, political institutions around the globe in turmoil, and much of the world continuing an uneasy transition to “knowledge work,” Drucker’s insights on effective management, ethical leadership, and social responsibility have never been more essential. Quite simply, we need Drucker now more than ever.
Help us turn the 21st century into The Drucker Century by putting his principles of effective management and ethical leadership to work in organizations across all sectors of society. Ample opportunities exist for you to participate in the Drucker Centennial—as an underwriter, attendee, presenter, or volunteer.
