                                                                   Text Box: WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT DRUCKER ON LEADERSHIP Pure Drucker. Every chapter brings a fresh, new approach to understanding the world, the works, the leadership philosophy of Peter Drucker - from the Foreword by Frances Hesselbein Cohen has written with clarity and authority about the major challenges facing leaders today. And Cohen, like Drucker, emphasizes responsibility and integrity in leadership, qualities so desperately needed today. I strongly recommend this book to you.  - Joseph A. Maciariello, Horton Professor of Management, Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management and Co-Author of The Daily Drucker by Peter F. Drucker and Management by Peter F. Drucker Cohen’s unique relationship with Peter Drucker, as student and friend,allows him to extract valuable leadership lessons from Drucker’s writings and teachings on management.  Bill Cohen’s “labor of love” provides the essential lessons for leaders straight from the Father of Modern  Management. – Ronald E. Riggio, Henry R. Kravis Professor of  Leadership and Organizational Psychology, and director of the  Kravis Leadership Institute at Claremont McKenna College For those who aspire to lead – and we need a new generation of Drucker--- like leaders in organizations in every country around the world ---         Bill Cohen distills the essential leadership lessons from the world’s greatest management thinker. -       Ira A. Jackson, Dean and Professor of   Management, Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management Through a blend of anecdote and analysis, Bill Cohen has given us great insight into Peter Drucker’s thinking on leadership—an aspect of Drucker’s  work that many have misconstrued or overlooked altogether. This is a new prism through which to view Drucker and, as such, a valuable contribution  to the field. -      Rick Wartzman, Executive Director, The Drucker Institute  Bill Cohen's Drucker on Leadership is the best collection of Peter Drucker's unique insights, deep wisdom, and practical advice I have  ever read.  Cohen channels Drucker as only a three decades-long colleague and student can. You will find the lessons highly accessible, immensely enjoyable, and wonderfully fresh.  -    Jim Kouzes, Award-winning co-author of the bestselling, The Leadership Challenge       What Cohen learned as Peter Drucker’s student, and their personal  relationship afterwards, changed Bill’s life. Reading Drucker on Leadership  will change the way you look at and apply leadership forever. -      Bruce  Rosenstein, author of Living in More Than One World: How Peter  Drucker's Wisdom Can Inspire and Transform Your Life   I read Dr. Cohen’s books in Chinese, and with the help of a translator, reviewed a draft of Drucker on Leadership in English. Peter F. Drucker helped me found the Peter F. Drucker Academy in China. It was a pleasure to see his concepts and what he instructed me brought together in one place and explained so that they could be applied by any executive. This is a valuable and useful book. -      Minglo Shao, Chairman and CEO of the Bright China Group, Founder of the Peter F. Drucker Academy
