Peter Ferdinand Drucker (born November 19, 1909) is a management theorist who created many phrases common in business today.

Drucker, born in Vienna, Austria, has been writing influential works about management since the 1940s. He has written about 30 books, and from 1975 to 1995 he was an editorial columnist for the Wall Street Journal. Now in his nineties, he still consults for businesses and non-profit organizations.

Drucker was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by U.S. President George W. Bush on July 9, 2002. He recently founded the Leader to Leader Foundation.
