Maybe someone needs to check the references ...

The article says "Drucker taught that management is "a liberal art", and he infused his management advice with interdisciplinary lessons from history, sociology, psychology, philosophy, culture and religion.[3]"

The reference [3] was "Why Drucker Now? Archived 2010-12-09 at the Wayback Machine, Drucker Institute."

Except that archived article does not say that, at least when I looked.

A much better reference would be the book The Daily Drucker, as per -

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7648207-management-and-the-liberal-arts-management-is-a-liberal-art

It says, in part, that

"Management is what tradition used to call a liberal art—“liberal” because it deals with the fundamentals of knowledge, self-knowledge, wisdom, and leadership; “art” because it deals with practice and application. Managers draw upon all of the knowledges and insights of the humanities and social sciences—on psychology and philosophy, on economics and history, on the physical sciences and ethics. But they have to focus this knowledge on effectiveness and results—on healing a sick patient, teaching a student, building a bridge, designing and selling a “user-friendly” software program.” ― Peter F. Drucker, The Daily Drucker"

The references should be, ideally, to books with page numbers, speech transcripts, interview transcripts, magazine articles etc - not to archived pages that do not contain that content.

What about Drucker's videos?

I once attended showings of some of Drucker's videos, featuring his concept of "monkey school". This should be mentioned somewhere in the text.

The videos were taken at an in-person session of Drucker presenting the material.

Sounds great to me. Does anyone have the links?
