Though the responsibility for this work and any errors in it are my alone,
I want to acknowledge the following individuals, each of whom made significant
contributions to A <strong>Class</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>Drucker</strong>:
Adrienne Hickey, Editor in Chief. She is an old friend <strong>with</strong> whom I have
worked on a number of AMACOM books. She worked <strong>with</strong> me on this
project from the beginning, and as always, did her usual outstanding work.
Barry Richardson, Developmental Editor. He had spun his magical skills
over one of my previous books. He made sense in my organization where I
only thought I had done so. This time he went one step further and sent me
a personal anecdote which further supported my illustration of one of
<strong>Drucker</strong>’s concepts. I jumped on it and put it in the book.
Andy Ambraziejus. He is Managing Editor at AMACOM. He brought
the whole production end together and kept me focused on responding to
important editorial questions when my travel schedule kicked in to make
finetuning a real challenge.
Karen Brogno, AMACOM copyeditor extraordinaire, who repeatedly challenged
me to be specific and frustrated me by being right more times than not.
Most of all, Nurit Cohen, PhD, clinical psychologist. She can be my
most severe critic, but is always my strongest supporter. She is also my
wife and partner of forty years and <strong>with</strong>out her this book would not have
been written. It is dedicated to her <strong>with</strong> all my love and thanks for putting
up <strong>with</strong> wars, which three times took my time and caused separation, frequent
stubbornness and sometimes just downright stupidity.
