Showcasing the people & organizations working to create a “Functioning Society”.

Drucker+ is a new platform from the Drucker Institute that showcases the people and organizations who are putting the ideas and ideals of Peter F. Drucker into practice.

Drucker+ features essays, short films, podcasts, and an annual ranking of America’s best-managed companies. It also sponsors events and programs. In short, it’s a forum that brings people together with the goal of delivering on Drucker’s vision of what makes for a “functioning society.”

WELCOME TO DRUCKER+

“Man in his social and political existence must have a functioning society just as he must have air to breathe in his biological existence.”
— Peter F. Drucker

When Peter F. Drucker published a retrospective collection of his most influential writings, he appropriately titled it “A Functioning Society.”

The idea of a functioning society was a core concept to Drucker’s thinking throughout his long career and it can be useful for us as we navigate the complex challenges of the world today.

For the first time, “A Functioning Society” is now available as an audiobook on Audible.

The publication of the collection as an audiobook is an invitation to think seriously about the current condition of our social life and the ways we can act decisively to improve it.
