Peter F. Drucker - The passing of a Management Thinker and Legend

News (and in Washington Times) of Peter Drucker's death recently is indeed a downer.

This visionary man single-handedly defined the practice of management and other related issues in such clarity in the 1940's that every management thinker since is but a shadow and a subset of this man's ideas.

Fellow Bloggers, if you haven't read him, do check out his works. His vision and depth of thought is astounding, and I believe anyone who reads him will benefit from his insights.

Terms which we take for granted like "Management by Objectives", "Knowledge Worker" were concepts he thought of 60 years ago, and still valid to this day and age.
