Elizabeth Haas Edersheim wrote a book about and with Peter F. Drucker. This book was published at McGraw-Hill, New York.

A.G. Lafley, Procter & Gamble chairman of the board, president and CEO writes in a preamble:

Peter Drucker was unique. Relentlessly he concentrated on the promises of the future and the potential of every single employee. It is characteristic that one of his last wishes was that his biography contains more about his ideas than about his life.

Liz Edersheim has complied with his request in the book “Peter F. Drucker: The Definitive Drucker”. Not only did she compile the essence of his 39 books and the discoveries and findings from seven decades but she also pointed out what defines Peter Drucker: The wise, witty, knowledgeable and humble teacher who sat with many of us in his living-room, asking questions and patiently giving us the time to understand what he already knew; the man who helped us see what he always described as “visible - but not yet seen”.

His example and his ideas are going to make Peter a force committed to doing good, for generations.

Here three quotations of Peter Drucker communicated by Liz Edersheim in her book:

“In this world with a plethora of data first-hand emotional intelligence is what really matters.”

“Business as we know it is going to become extinct. Companies no longer sell products, they sell experience. There are no competitors, only better solutions and a larger variety, joined with many variants.”

“Innovations are meant to shake-off the world of yesterday, in order to have the freedom to create the world of tomorrow.”

Among the many books that will be given away in the coming weeks or can be found under the Christmas tree, the book “Peter F. Drucker – The Definitive Drucker”, deserves special attention.
