Harvard Business Review trumpets Drucker Institute event

Published on Monday, October 19, 2009

Harvard Business Review has taken note of a forum, convened by the Drucker Institute, in which a group of corporate executives and other leaders discussed "their renewed sense of purpose and responsibility to a local and global community."

The intimate event, hosted on Oct. 14 by Procter & Gamble Chairman A.G. Lafley, included 32 participants from business, academia and the social sector. Among them were:

Intuit founder Scott Cook
Teach for America founder and CEO Wendy Kopp
Costco CEO Jim Sinegal
former News Corp. President Peter Chernin
Mattel Chairman and CEO Bob Eckert
Feeding America CEO Vicki Escarra
Harvard Business School professor Rosabeth Moss Kanter
USC professor Warren Bennis
Stanford Business School professor Jeffrey Pfeffer
Rotman School of Management Dean Roger Martin

Also participating were Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management Dean Ira Jackson, Drucker Institute Executive Director Rick Wartzman, and Drucker School Professors Jean Lipman-Blumen and Vijay Sathe.

The group discussed themes drawn from Lafley's May 2009 HBR article, "What Only the CEO Can Do." The piece itself grew out of conversations that Lafley had with Peter Drucker.

The Forum was part of the Drucker Centennial, a series of events being put on by the Drucker Institute and Drucker School in celebration of Peter Drucker's 100th birthday.
