Joseph Maciariello discusses his book, “Drucker’s Lost Art of Management: Fulfilling Peter Drucker’s Vision for a Society of Functioning Organizations," written with Karen Linkletter. Maciariello begins by quoting Peter Drucker’s definition of management with the heading, “integrity is the touchstone of management” and says that Drucker believed that integrity and character were at the heart of executive management. He talks about the influence of Reinhold Neibuhr over Drucker and Drucker’s interest in the phenomenon of the megachurch. Maciariello also talks about Joseph Schumpeter and his influence over Drucker’s work on innovation. He discusses Drucker’s study on the policies and structures of General Motors and his work with Alfred Sloan. Maciariello also discusses the contributions of the Federalist Papers and the chapter on leadership as a liberal art. Maciariello goes on to say that Drucker had the ability to look at management from all of society’s institutions and to bring this knowledge down to the level of the human being at work. Maciariello ends by saying that Drucker’s prime influence over him was his integrity.
