Adapting to Change: Lessons from Peter Drucker in a Technological Age

In today’s whirlwind of a world, staying ahead of the curve is everything. Jack Welch, the legendary CEO of General Electric, nailed it when he said, “If the rate of change on the outside exceeds the rate of change on the inside, the end is near.”
