Professor Jorge Sá (PhD Columbia University; MBA Drucker University; Jean Monnet Chair) as Peter Drucker speaker gave a talk on:
“Peter Drucker on effective leadership: what really matters”
This conference focused on the message of Peter Drucker, the founder of modern management:
- Only two behavioural traits (not personality types much less charisma) and also two management skills, are absolutely necessary conditions for great leaders;
- From the conference follows, using the examples of Katharine Graham (a housewife heir to the Washington Post) or of Darwin Smith (a discreet lawyer who as CEO transformed Kimberly-Clark into one of the most admired companies in the world), that what truly matters for effective leadership is frequently plainly missed.
The talk was based on Professor Sá’s book “There is no leadership: only effective management” (cover, index and back cover below):
