Joan D. Winstein作序

Ming-Lo Shao was a student and a good friend of my father, Peter F. Drucker, during the last decade of his life.

But he was much more than a “student” in the normal sense of the word. He is a conscientious and steadfast steward of Drucker's ideas and teachings.

And, not only has Mr. Shao read and absorbed Drucker's thoughts in a personal and meaningful way, he has adapted and applied them to his own enterprises - and he continues to expend considerable resources to make these writings relevant to business owners, educators, scholars, and executives throughout China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

In my experience working with Drucker's publishers around the globe, since Drucker passed away over 20 years ago, Mr. Shao has promulgated Drucker's ideas tmore widely than anyone else.

The urgency for creating a “functioning society” was viscerally real when Drucker wrote his book on that topic; today, in 2026, the potential breakdown of a "functioning society" is an existential threat to our entire world.

Mr. Shao’s book highlights the tremendous need for moral, courageous and compassionate leadership to equitably address the needs of all people, to create sustainable, peaceful, and equitable prosperity, just as Drucker posited over his 70 years of writing and teaching.
