I would like to say this... I too am saddened with the passing of Peter
Drucker but I would add the following. Were it not for the likes of Mr
Nickols and Mr Ring and a few others at BRPL many years ago, my interest
in business management would have been totally adversarial, perhaps to
the point of violence :-)
The point is that Mr Druckers influence on influencers has been great...
huge, and I am grateful to him, Fred, Jack and those that have taken
his lessons and digested them for folks like me who have navigated a
reasonably successful career without arrest... though there were some
close scrapes with HR :-)
Thanks... and bless Peter, his wife, members of this list, and all those
before it, specifically those that learned about the network and sharing
knowledge.
