Peter F. Drucker, a highly respected business strategist and thinker, offers a
collection of his ideas in
The Daily Drucker for readers to use for inspiration
and motivation. Drucker has written dozens of books which have
been required reading for world leaders like Winston Churchill
to executives running successful business like
Hewlett Packard, Merck, Ford, Proctor & Gamble, General Electric and Motorola.
Drucker says this book is an
answer to the question he is often asked, "Which book of yours should I
read first?" Drucker writes that
The Daily Drucker "presents in organized form--and
directly from my own writings--a key statement of mine, followed by a few
lines, also from my own works, of comment and explanation, on topics ranging
across a great many fields of my work: management, entrepreneurship; decision
making; the changing workforce; the nonprofits and their management; and so on."
At the bottom of each of Drucker's 366 entries readers will find an
action point that tells them exactly how to put Drucker's ideas into use.
This is a great book for the busy executive that needs to focus and for the nonprofit
manager who has so much to do he can't even figure out where to start. For
those new to Peter Drucker's crisp and practical advice, the
Daily Drucker will make a
great beginning.
