Today, January 25, 2006, a Microsoft live meeting web event was held to pay tribute to the late Peter Drucker. I found out about it over at Dave’s B2Blog and made plans to attend. The participants were Tom Peters, Marshall Goldsmith, Frances Hesselbein, and David Maister and it was hosted by John A. Byrne, Executive Editor, Business Week.
My schedule was very tight today with a meeting that required my presence at noon and the tribute started at 11 AM Central Time, so I thought I could attend the first half of the meeting and then leave for my other meeting. If only… the telephone would not stop ringing.
What little I saw and heard was great as these people reflected on Mr. Drucker and his accomplishments. They talked about their favorite quotes and how down to earth he was and I was disappointed I couldn’t stay for the whole thing.
However there is good news in this. The tribute is being placed on the Microsoft Archive site for online viewing and it should be up by January 26th. I, for one, can’t wait to see the complete program when it becomes available.
