Peter Drucker

November 16, 2005

There is a wonderful obituary in the London Times today for Peter Drucker, who was considered to be the father of modern business management theory.

My favorite part is Drucker's quote about consultants and the over-use of the word "guru" nowadays by (most self-anointed) experts: "People use the word ‘guru’ only because ‘charlatan’ is too long”.
