  Ideas Peter Drucker On Leadership Rich Karlgaard, 11.19.04, 6:00 AM ET NEW YORK - Peter F. Drucker was born 95 years ago today--can it be possible?--in Vienna.

But in late October, Drucker granted an exception to Forbes.com at the urging of Dr. Rick Warren , the founder and head of the Christian evangelical Saddleback Community Church in Lake Forest, Calif.

Is there a set of strategic change initiatives which are consistent with the vision and the strategic themes for the business unit, are described in sufficient detail to enable subsequent prioritisation, selection and sequencing?
