““You can’t lead without managing, and success in the knowledge economy comes to those who know themselves—their strengths, their values, and how they best perform…and that you cannot manage other people unless you manage yourself first.””

— Peter F. Drucker

Peter F. Drucker

Peter F. Drucker (1909-2005) was an Austrian-American management theorist, consultant, and author, widely considered the "father of modern management" for transforming it into a liberal art focused on human values, ethics, and societal impact. Born in Vienna, he fled Nazi Germany, immigrated to the U.S. in 1937, and became a prolific writer (39 books), teacher at New York University and Claremont Graduate University, and influential advisor to global corporations, popularizing concepts like Management by Objectives (MBO) and the knowledge worker.
