By doing what they loved they made the world a better place for many others, and themselves. Take that message to heart and make your life the best it can be.

Wow.. I just happened to stumble onto this page and read through this post. I was shocked to learn that this man was the writer of that awesome song!

I remember singing this in church many years ago and never giving any thought to who might have written it.

I had no idea that he had passed away, but I’m sure he will be missed by many.

Great video, by the way.

I´m really shocked to know that my good Christian friend pass away, only now. I had honour to publish both books into portuguese language and both becomes best-sellers. I had opportunity to bring him down to Brazil, once with Mary walton in 1991 to launch the PGQP- PROGRAMA GAUCHO DE QUALIDADE E PRODUTIVIDADE, nowadays one of the biggest state program in Q&P.
We had marvelous time and lot of fun. He learns a lot about Islam, we had opportunity to talk firendly about our religions and believes.
We had many good times with him, during his seminars and classes.
SCHOLTES becomes well know in Brazil.
May ALLAH bless him and all family, friends and followers.

SAUDADES ETERNAS means that we never forget him!

John, I was terribly shocked…….. I just ordered The Leader’s Handbook an hour ago from Amazon.com

What’s on earth that made me unaware of Mr Scholtes’ passing more than one year later. I live in other side of USA, in Indonesia, thousands km away and I am a submitter (most people say I am a Muslim). But, yes, we are one in the Spirit.

I miss Mr Scholtes but I am convinced that GOD only provides us, HIS servants, with the best things.

Selamat Jalan dan Semoga Kita Bertemu, Bapak Scholtes (This is in Bahasa Indonesia, John. It means ” So long, till we meet again , Mr Scholtes)

I had known Peter was in poor health, but am saddened – even a full year later – to learn of his passing.

Our large healthcare system sought Peter’s help in changing our approach to how we managed work. My most unforgettable workshop EVER was Peter and Alfie Kohn joining forces to shake a few minds. Many of us still reflect back on that workshop, and the prep sessions leading up to the workshop, with wonder – and plenty of laughter.

I continue to use the Leader’s Handbook and the Team Handbook, and only wish I had known him even better. RIP Peter.

Last month, Irealised Peter was dead.

Tommorow we’ll have a small meeting to remember him in Taipei.

We’ll have a special issue for him in our annual conference and book.

Peter’s last book The Leader’s Handbook is a best selling book in Taiwan and China. I am very pleased he wrote me two letters to help me better understanding his points before the publishing Chinese version of it. Many of his readers agree it is a masterpiece. The leadership according to Peter’s is with love and healing power at least.

I personally regretted I did not attend TWEDI’s Wisconsin conference in 2008. I wrote to Prof. Orsini to inquire Peter’s health condition then.

An aspect of Peter’s character revealed in his writing and speeching (BDA’s booklet). He is our “leader” in this part of world. I miss him.

I last saw and worked with Peter over 20 years ago when he consulted for SD Warren in Maine. Yesterday, I was working on a project and thought, I need “The Team Handbook”. I found it buried deep in the attic and I hold it in my hand now reading Peter’s dedication and signature dated 9/13/88. I’m sad to hear the world has lost this man who fundamentally changed my work and professional life in such a positive manner.

"and they will know we are Christians by our love" IS THE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD more than anything else I have ever heard/felt.

Russell Ackoff understood to create effective management systems the human element must be at the heart. He firmly believed in respect for people and his management ideas built on providing the opportunity for people to flourish…

John,

To this day, I use the Team and Leaders' Handbooks as a foundation for my own leadership and management practices. My sympathy to all who knew, admired and loved him. Sorry for the delay in passing on my condolences.
