520 _aBob Buford tells the story of an unlikely, 23-year friendship between the Austrian-born 'father of modern management' who loves Japanese art, and a wealthy Texas cable television operator and ardent Dallas Cowboys fan. Under the radar, they organize meetings with an elite list of leaders to revolutionize the world of non-profit organizations. In 1982 a young, ambitious East Texas entrepreneur decides there must be more to life, so he writes a letter to the man whose books he most treasures - Peter F. Drucker, father of modern management theory and practice. Their relationship progresses from paid consultant to mentor to close friend. Drucker and Me tells how two men discover a mutual passion and strategy that will literally change the world. Their disappointment with corporate America leads them to embrace the non-profit sector, including one of the most important developments in the last 30 years - the megachurch movement. Believing non-profit organizations change lives, they begin work with Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, and others to design a new management model for non-profits in the twenty-first century.
