The Drucker Legacy

Some insights, links and the archive of my radio interview with Bruce Rosenstein on July 12th.

Few figures loom  as large over the business landscape of the past 50 years as does the  imposing figure of Peter Drucker. Drucker pretty much defined management as  a science, he introduced us to knowledge workers, ushered in the post  capitalist age, and left an indelible mark on all who knew him.

I was lucky enough  to get to know Peter during the last decade of of his life. Each of my  visits with him was a fascinating journey through history. He was nothing  less than a walking encyclopedia of the 20th Century.

In my recent Innovation Zone radio show I talked to Bruce Rosenstein about Peter Drucker.  Bruce is working on a new book about Drucker and was recently at the first  Drucker Society Global Symposium, where he previewed video from an  interview he did with Peter just a few months before he passed away.

Bruce's insights  and knowledge of Drucker are amazingly crisp and clear, just like Drucker  himself!

If you're a  Drucker follower, or just want to find out a bit more about the man who has  influenced so much of business as we know it today listen in to the archived show at http://blogtalkradio.com/hostpage.aspx?show_id=38064
