Drucker Centennial Week 心得 - Shengfu Wang

The Drucker Centennial Week celebration finished with Drucker Centennial Day yesterday. We had Jim Collins, Charles Handy, and many other great guest speakers coming to Claremont and share all kinds of insights with us, especially about "Why we need Drucker now, more than ever"!

I was really excited that we have the chance to meet Jim Collins and can hear from him about Drucker's philosophy. And he didn't disappoint me at all! One sentence that really touched me is this, "The great leaders are extremely ambitious, but not for themselves!"

People tend to think the basic stuffs are not as important and new thoughts or innovations. Although some new ideas are pretty excited, the sincerity, honesty, trust, etc, are still the most important characters for a successful leader. And people usually forget these things because they are simply too basic.

There must be reasons that great leaders/thinkers are always talking about the basic things. However, many people focus only in narrow field and ignore the importance of the big picture. Human beings have unlimited capability, but we like to limit ourselves all the time.

One advice that Jim Collins offered was to "build your own personal board of directors. People selected not for their accomplishment, but for their character. The people you will be

embarrassed talking to if you are thinking if this is really a right thing to do."

Every of his suggestion is just so deeply touching my heart, and I almost agree with every of them sincerely.

When Jim Collins talked about the first meeting between him and Peter Drucker. When Drucker left his advice for Jim Collins, Peter was not worried about Jim's survival in academic, nor about Jim's career or financial success, but Peter asked Jim to think about how to be useful. And as Jim Collins recalled, that 10 seconds conversation changed his whole life.

This week truly reminded me how great Peter Drucker is. The week also convinced me once again that I am extremely lucky to be in this fantastic school. Thanks for Jim Collins, I again listened to a speech with tears in my eyes.

As a co-director of Marketing Club in Drucker School, I was proud that I really have some trustworthy partners to work with now. The result can be so easily seen as we presented the club booth. On that booth, we had the collaborative work of many people in marketing club. The booth was beautifully designed and decorated. We had Prof. Darroch's new book presented on the booth. The certificate of being one chapter of American Marketing Association was so shining. I am also grateful that members designed different materials that make our project successful. To present the business card the member designed in the booth, I felt really proud.

This semester, the Drucker Marketing Club is having many activities and events going on. We are having guest speakers coming in next two weeks, too. I am really glad we are having members keep joining our events!

The final part I'd like to share is about the conversation with Masatoshi Ito, the founder and honorary chairman of the Ito-Yokado Group. His friendship and working relationship with Peter Drucker spanned more than three decades. Ito San is an amazingly humble person and a great leader in Japan. I am so honored to be in the school named Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito School!

Ito San was really kind and took time to meet Drucker School students. Because this event was decided at the last minute, we were worried that we could not broadcast the information fast enough to draw people to this event. However, we soon found that the worry was so stupid. Ito San is such a great leader that his appearance drew attention by nature. We ended up with a room full of people, and crowd even outside of the room.

Ito San talked about his relationship with Peter Drucker and how he learned from Peter. In fact, Peter insisted to have Ito's name on the school because he believed Ito San is a practical side of himself! Seeing the true friendship with two great men, I was deeply touched and felt so proud to be associated with them.

Non-surprisingly, the values that Ito San deeply embeds in every aspect of his thought totally match what Peter and all other great thinkers believe. They all value social responsibility, honesty, and dignity. They all dislike the "money centric" and "profit-only" ideas. Just like Jim Collins said, "The great leaders are extremely ambitious, but not for themselves." Ito San is a great example and role model for us, which I truly appreciate!

In this photo, the person in the center who had the great smile on his face is one of our professors. He is teaching self-management in our school, a field that is very important for knowledge workers, but are not addressed by most "B-schools" at all.

I have been studying in Drucker School for more than 1 year. Of course, this school is not perfect, and it's small with limited resources.

However, where can you find a school that all the professors are really passionate about teaching and students' success? Where can you find a school that everyone is so friendly and so tightly working together, even as volunteers? In what kind of business speaking sessions, you can find your eyes wet all the time while listening to different great speakers talking about their dream and Peter's dream.

The Drucker School is great. I am extremely lucky to be here and to share all the great thoughts with many many great people.

Drucker School Golf Competition

Before my internship started, this is my last social event.

It's really fun to play golf with professor, EMBA student, alumni, and school director/dean, especially under the Spring weather of Southern California.

If you ever wonder whether this golf competition is worth to join, it is strongly recommended!

I was teamed up with MBA director, our OB professor, and an EMBA student. They are all very very nice partners(Drucker's culture!) The rule of this game is basically based on the team performance. We played only "the best ball" in each team each shot, so every team seemed to have really good score and people had little pressure on individual performance. It's a relaxing game, really.

Since I came to California, golf has really became enjoyable to me, and it's my pleasure to attend Drucker School's social event. It's so lucky to study here and to find out the fun of golf. Let's play golf and join social event together in CGU!

Drucker Students Take National Title in Net Impact Case Competition!

Drucker Students Take National Title in Net Impact Case Competition!

Published on Tuesday, February 24, 2009

On February 21, 2009 a team of four Drucker School students won first place in the final round of the Net Impact Case Competition hosted by the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The team consisted of Tyler Barrell, the school’s Net Impact chapter leader, Jay Hinton, Emi Makino, and Sarah Schwald. This is the first time the Drucker School has advanced to the semi-final round in the Leeds competition, now in its 8th year. The competition has grown to include over 85 teams from most prestigious schools around the country. The Drucker School team took first place over University of North Carolina (2nd) and MIT (3rd), winning $6000 in prize money.

Jay Hinton noted, “Sustainability is an issue that is relevant for all companies, and one that can be positively affected by measures both great and small. The wide range of finalists is a shining example that the NIIC competition is an opportunity for all students concerned with the triple bottom line, not just big name programs. This is a big win for CGU, the Drucker School, and Peter Drucker's legacy.”

“The Leeds Net Impact Case Competition is the premier case format competition built around businesses facing sustainability challenges, while succeeding financially.”http://nicomp.colorado.edu/NICC_2009/Home.html

The competition was sponsored by Vail resorts, who over the course of the event challenged teams to address three issues relating to their company and how they embrace sustainable practices. The competition occurred in two parts, a preliminary round via the internet, and a final 24 hour event in Colorado. Teams arrived in Colorado to be given the “zinger” of the case, a game-changing alteration to preliminary data that had been sent out 10 days before.

The final round challenge consisted of two parts; a charge to increase the number of riders on Vail’s newest acquisition, Colorado Mountain Express, in order to reduce traffic, and propose initiatives and possible acquisitions that would increase Vail’s goal of creating a total customer experience while promoting sustainability. After an all-night, 12-hour preparation session, presentations began. Twenty teams of four presented in the morning, and five were selected to present again for the final round in the afternoon.

The preliminary round took place between November 17th and December 3rd, 2008. The required deliverable: an 11 page slide deck with less than 75 words per page outlining a plan for building a corporate culture with sustainable ideals for the Vail Resorts. After much toil over many ideas, the team submitted a plan titled “Extraordinary People, Exceptionally Engaged.”

“I believe that in the projects that we created we put forth strategies and philosophies that Drucker would appreciate as having been built on his works,” says team member Sarah Schwald.

The final round consisted of the following schools:

Claremont Graduate University (Drucker)	University of North Carolina
Rice University	Bainbridge Graduate Institute
MIT	University of British Columbia
University of Virginia	UC-Berkeley
Northwestern	George Washington University
Washington State University	Duke University
HEC Montreal	Harvard Business School
Dartmouth	Michigan State University
University of Baylor
