Peter Drucker and the wellbeing agenda

– Peter Drucker was undoubtedly the father of the academic discipline of management, not only from a theoretical point of view but also from a practitioner standpoint as well. He influenced management scholars and company CEOs at the same time. He published 39 books and numerous articles in management journals and magazines. He is known for some key concepts, like outsourcing, decentralization, knowledge-based work and the practice of management. What people rarely associate with him, however, was his concern about the wellbeing of employees.
