Professor Joseph Maciariello, Horton Professor of Management for the Drucker School of Management, at Claremont Graduate University, discusses the body of knowledge that Drucker has codified on the practice of management. He argues that the ordering of societies so that they better serve the welfare of the people is what drives Peter Drucker’s work. In order to produce this ordering, well-trained managers are needed. Drucker has thus codified the practice of management in order to make it widely accessible. Professor Maciarello also discusses Drucker’s experiences with the leadership of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao and how it has led him to distrust charismatic leadership and therefore de-emphasize its importance. Professor Maciariello refers to Peter Drucker as a Renaissance man and names Herbert Simon as the only other individual that he has met that also fits that description. Finally he discusses Peter’s deep understanding of the importance of accounting in management.
