8-Week Course Limited to 10 Participants
Do you want to engage in a serious discussion about the purpose of business and the roles of leaders and managers? Do you want to expand your understanding by studying the ideas of the great business thinker, Peter Drucker?
No scholar or professor of management has been more important or had a greater impact on the world of global business and leadership than the late Peter Drucker. Unfortunately, many business people, even with advanced degrees, have not had enough exposure to Drucker’s thinking.
Discussion leader Gary Hoover started reading Drucker’s many books over fifty years ago, then went on to a career selecting stocks on Wall Street, working in management at two large retail companies, starting several companies in Austin, and now writing and teaching the lessons of business history and entrepreneurial thinking. Few people combine Gary’s exposure to different industries, a historical perspective, a scholarly approach to the issues, and a lifetime of practicing business and management. These attributes make Gary the ideal person to lead a weekly Drucker study group.
For each of eight 90-minute weekly Zoom sessions on Tuesday nights, at 7 PM CDT until 8:30, from September 20 through November 8, Gary will lead a discussion of each week’s readings and topics from Drucker’s most important work, as listed below. How do these ideas relate to today’s world? How can you use them in your own business and life? Where do you agree with Drucker, where do you disagree?
This class will be limited to ten participants, in order to give everyone the chance to ask questions and relate his teachings to their current or future endeavors.
The full 8-week course has a list price of $750, with an early bird price of $449 if you enroll by midnight, August 31.
