Laurence Haughton on Peter Drucker via ChristianSarkar.com:

It is frustrating, but I wouldn’t draw that conclusion.

As readers of this blog know, I am a big fan of W. Edwards Deming’s ideas. Many of his ideas are ignored. However, even so, his influence on management in America, and worldwide, has been significant and positive. The way I see it even though managers are only benefiting from say 20% of the wisdom of Deming or Drucker that could very well still make Deming or Drucker the most influential management expert.
