Peter Drucker RIP

Peter Drucker passed away yesterday. Not only was the man a genius he was also mentioned in the movie Barcelona. Tom Peters, Peter Senge and all those management flavors of the month can't hold a candle to the breadth and depth of Drucker and his work. Since I'm supposed to focus on politics here is what Drucker said about our most effective presidents:

The most effective president, he told Forbes magazine 11 months ago, was Harry Truman, because "everybody who worked for him worshiped him because he was absolutely trustworthy." Ronald Reagan took second place: "His great strength was not charisma, as is commonly thought, but his awareness and acceptance of exactly what he could do and what he could not do."
