About the Drucker Centennial
The Drucker Centennial marks the 100th birthday of Peter F. Drucker – the father of modern management, author of 39 books on organizational behavior, innovation, economy, and society, and a winner of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The Centennial is a time of commemoration and celebration of Peter Drucker’s work and legacy and reflects the efforts of the Drucker School and Drucker Institute to ensure that his teachings on effective management, ethical leadership and social responsibility endure into the next century. Drucker Day is the culmination of Drucker Week, which features some of today’s most prominent names in management thinking, including Warren Bennis, Ken Blanchard, Stephen Covey, Charles Handy, and Frances Hesselbein.
