1999 DRUCKER FOUNDATION LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE At the
closing session at the Drucker Foundation Fall 1999 Conference, Peter F.
Drucker addressed the new opportunities and responsibilities all
executives face -- the need to "manage themselves."
PETER F. DRUCKER ON "MANAGING ONESELF"
----------------------------------------
Reflecting on the history of our times, Drucker notes that to
historians:
"the most important event. . .is not technology, it is not the Internet,
it is not e-commerce. For the first time -- and I mean that literally --
for the first time, substantial and rapidly growing numbers of people have
choices. For the first time, they will have to manage themselves."
Drucker provides direction about using feedback to begin this
self-management process, and concludes with comments on the short- term
effect of these changes on nonprofits.
"The real development I've seen of people in [businesses], especially in
big ones, comes from their being volunteers in [a nonprofit] organization.
You have responsibility, you see results, and you very soon find out what
your values are. This is probably the great opportunity for the nonprofits
-- and especially for their relationship to business."
