“The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different.”

− Peter F. Drucker

The Drucker Institute’s Executive Education programs were developed to bring a blend of classic and new learning approaches informed by Peter’s 39 books, thousands of articles and classroom teachings to engage and encourage students, scholars, rising leaders, executives, organizations (public, social and private) and those who embrace the concept of “A Lifetime of Learning.”

Drucker viewed management to be transdisciplinary and the Institute matches CGU faculty with our client’s goals to customize progressive teaching techniques that move beyond traditional lecture and case methods.  Several companies we have partnered with on executive education programs are – Microsoft, Amazon, Edward Jones, Verizon, and Kaiser Permanente, to name a few. Within these organizations, our touch points are senior executives who have decision-making authority, to support what Drucker believed is the best way to have an impact – to build on “islands of health and strength”—that is, to work on things that are already trying to happen. We believe that, too.

The Drucker Playbooks for the Social, Public and Private Sectors

 

The Drucker Playbooks are newly created professional development programs from the Drucker Institute and Drucker School of Management at Claremont Graduate University. The Playbook, designed for current and future leaders, draws on the extensive archives of Peter F. Drucker, the research of CGU faculty, and lifelong lessons from Drucker’s former students and the executive director’s 25+ years of experience working closely with high-level leaders, including Governors, Mayors and C-Suite executives from the private and social sectors.

 

The Playbook is more than the simple question people asked Drucker the most – “What are the qualities of a leader?” His experiences showed him that leadership was not based on charm, charisma, or preaching. It was manifested in doers, no matter their title, and those individuals who are highly visible in their actions modeling how their workforce hears, aligns, and lives the organization’s mission.

 

The Playbook is divided into Part One: Drucker’s five most important questions; and Part Two: Self-development, relationship development, and organizational development.

 

The Playbook is available in several formats with different cost levels:

 

• On-Line: Self-paced, Video or In-Person Facilitation (20-30 hours)
• In-Person: Team Facilitation at Organization’s Site (1-2 days)
• Customized: Built around select modules, or into a Daily Drucker 30-day interactive course experience.
• Annual License: Built to support an organization’s ongoing workforce development needs.
• Drucker Academy: The Academy will provide learners with a more in-depth cohort experience on Campus.

When one has completed their work, they will have earned a Certificate of Completion for Purposeful Leadership and Management in the Social Sector from the Drucker Institute and the Drucker School of Management.

For Organizations: Custom Executive Education Programs

The Institute works closely with the Drucker School of Management and other departments at CGU to customize a program to fit an organization’s (private, public and social) specific training needs and company challenges. What differentiates the Institute from others, is CGU’s transdisciplinary approach to support the development of both leadership skills and self-insight with a focus on positive psychology, leadership, human resources, and evaluation, to name a few. The training includes dynamic classroom sessions where we have delivered programs to leaders on CGU campus, at corporate offices, and online via Zoom and Teams or a combination thereof.
