Video preface written by Drucker+ team.
In this interview, produced for a documentary (released in 2008) called "Peter Drucker: A Perceptive Man," Drucker talks about the ambiguous nature of leadership.
While he believes in the importance of leadership, getting people to do things isn’t inherently good in itself. To provide real benefits, leadership needs to be based on principles, mission, and performance — and not on charisma alone.
