‘Drucker Apps’ 9/25/09: Management Insights on the Lehman Bros. Collapse

• By druckeradmin

This installment of Drucker Apps springs off of the anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers – a firm that, like so many on Wall Street, forgot that fat profits mean nothing if the underlying business can’t be sustained.

This edition of Drucker Apps includes:

  • In the short run, we’re all dead
  • Heal thyself
  • A Fuld’s errand
  • See no evil, hear no evil
