Peter Drucker lectures to his students in an executive management course. Topics discussed during his lecture include: commitment to action and accountability, knowing what a new position requires, personality conflicts, General Electric, a “New Yorker” cartoon of the 1930s, the responsibilities of headhunters, Alfred Sloan and his personnel decisions during his tenure at General Motors, state secrets of Moscow, people decisions and the competence of management, the limitations of line production, personnel placement in business, the difference between marketing and selling, the temperaments of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. and Franklin D. Roosevelt, knowing one’s personality and where he or she belongs, and the function of a chief executive officer (CEO). There is no audio and video from about 00:25:09 to 00:25:51 due to technical difficulties during the taping of the lecture.
