A Year with Peter Drucker offers lessons for managers, leaders, and those who aspire to be one or the other, based on the teachings of the father of modern management.

Management consultant, educator, and author Peter Drucker is often called the father of modern management.

The author of A Year with Peter Drucker, Joseph A. Maciariello, used to be one of Drucker's close companions before he died in 2005 at the age of 95.

Fed up with the fact that Drucker's great management practices have been watered down and gobbled up by talking heads in recent decades, Maciariello decided to publish an all-encompassing compendium, based on Drucker's mentorship program.
