Ahead of His Time

Let me be the last person to fete the late management guru Peter Drucker.  I was always a fan, but after his death I scrounged up some of his books to get a closer look.  As I read chapters and essays from 20-30 years ago, I marvel at his prescience, as evidenced by the topics he covered and the points that he made: the information age, globalization, Social Security, and even performance scorecards are written about as if he had the hindsight of living in 2005.  And I'm lucky if I read something I wrote from last year that still makes sense.  The man was surely ahead of his time.
