Features: Peter Drucker was born in Vienna in 1909 and moved to the United States in 1937. He dedicated his life to teaching, writing, and consulting, becoming one of the most renowned management scholars internationally, often referred to as the "master of masters." In the United States, he served as a management consultant for major corporations such as the U.S. banking and insurance consortium, General Motors, Chrysler, and IBM. In honor of his outstanding contributions to the field of management, Claremont Graduate University named its management graduate school after him—the Peter Drucker School of Management. He authored numerous works, including The Practice of Management, The Effective Executive, Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices, The Observer, and dozens of other books, which have been translated into over 130 countries worldwide. The Practice of Management established his reputation as the founder of the management discipline, while The Effective Executive has become a classic must-read for global managers. In June 2002, U.S. President George W. Bush announced that Peter Drucker was the recipient of the Presidential Freedom Medal for that year, the highest honor a U.S. citizen can receive. In this book, the author explores Drucker's world from various perspectives: his childhood background, life experiences, intellectual development, academic journey, demonstration of wisdom, passion for teaching, consulting abilities, and his ultimate concern for humanity. After reading this book, readers will find it easy to delve into the "inner world" of this most influential "master of masters."
