Five Ways to Heal American Capitalism
As things stand, they're expected to predict the future, which they can't do, and are punished by the capital markets when they are wrong. Peter Drucker predicted decades ago that American workers would eventually own the means of production not through a communist-style revolution but when their pension funds came to own the biggest piece of American companies . Three things have to happen in concert to heal the ailing American democratic capitalist system: Senior executives have to be helped out of a conflicted state in which they know they are living inauthentic business lives but are both too scared of the capital markets and too addicted to stock-based compensation to change by themselves. Boards of directors who have drunk the Kool-Aid of stock-based compensation need to be saved from their own delusions about its effectiveness. The hedge funds who have become so emboldened that they now hunt in predatory packs, destroying companies

  • Drucker's Question: What Will You Do Differently on Monday?
    Over the course of his long career, Peter Drucker headlined countless conferences and huddled with untold groups of executives — corporate chiefs, nonprofit leaders, and government officials who hung on his every word. One either meets or one works," Drucker wrote — an observation that seems particularly timely following last week's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. "One But he would have been the first to question whether any of these gatherings amounted to much in the end. "One One cannot do both at the same time."

  • Toward post-Journalism journalism
    Virginia Postrel, author, The Future and Its Enemies; contributing editor, The Atlantic Near the beginning of that stretch, in 1959, Peter Drucker coined the term “knowledge worker”. By then Drucker had already forecast the end of the modern corporation, and had compared management (his specialty) to conducting a band or an orchestra of self-empowered individuals, each good at what they did, and eager to learn more and improve.

  • Three Rules for These Times
    Peter Drucker famously said it was to make and keep a customer. Otherwise they're just punching the time clock and risking everyone's future. Most economists agree that the worst of this financial meltdown is now behind us. Unemployment is at a 25-year high, it's true, but at least the pace of lay-offs has slowed.
