Norman Macrae & Peter Drucker's 1935 crossroads in MoscowFrom India's Financial Express a remarkable testimony by GAUTAM CHIKERMANE
Even at 95, Drucker was the youngest business, management, societal and economic thinker alive.One of the three things I wanted to do after I became financially independent was to work for Peter Ferdinand Drucker. Preferably in a job that allowed me to see how he worked, what he read, how he thought, and finally, how he translated them into articles and books that influenced top leaders and executives. Of corporations. Of non-profits. Of countries. He always seemed “just there, around the corner”, so there was no hurry. Yes, he was in his mid-nineties and the spectre of mortality did raise its head. But then, Drucker was so young, so vibrant, so full of new ideas. How could he age, leave alone die?
