Standing on the red carpet at the Global Peter Drucker Forum in Vienna with Franziska Graf, I was reminded why Peter Drucker’s ideas still matter…
In this short conversation at the historic Hofburg Palace, we explore:
1) The importance of a “Mindshift” right now, and how rethinking our mindset is the starting point for meaningful change.
2) How AI demands a next-generation model of leadership (hint: AI doesn’t decide who loses their job, leaders do).
3) Why the true role of the CEO, CIO, CHRO, and emerging Chief AI Officers is not to make tomorrow faster or cheaper or more scalable version of yesterday, but also to create new value that didn’t exist before.
4) Why optimism isn’t naive…a reminder that it’s a core pillar of innovation and authentic leadership.

I’m grateful to Richard Straub, Julia Kirby, and the Drucker Forum community for creating a space where people genuinely committed to shaping the future of management (and leadership) come together to learn, challenge assumptions, and build what’s next.
And speaking of what’s next…we’re moving from “Next Management” in 2025 to “Next Gen Innovation” in 2026. The future of management depends on our ability to reimagine how we work, lead, and create value together.
