This is a good combination of Drucker's best books, but they are just snippets. It takes a page from one of his books and puts it in a sound bite. That seems fine if you need an introduction, but not as useful. I read the Effective Executive before this and found it much more useful. Many of the passages from that book go into Daily Drucker. It was a bit redundant for me as a result.
Peter Drucker is a management guru from the prior millennium that has written some very classic works on leadership and management. In my new role in state government I found his insights very helpful. He is both thoughtful and analytical, and dissects common leadership situations to provide insight and new ideas.This is a great daily reading book for leaders. Strongly recommend it.One small irritation: There is a strict copy limit. I like to cut and paste the best quotes from my daily reading b...
Education in management This compilation of 26 books is essential for life and business. It has expanded and stretched my thinking as a human relative to society and its institutions.
Simply not for anyone to read only for those who are business oriented. It is highly recommended for managers, CEOs, and people who have a managerial position or waiting and preparing for a managerial position. I believe it will be on my to read list after 5 or 10 years from now so I can be fully interested and enjoy it more.
My go to try and read a page every work day. One of my best purchases ever!
A great breakfast table or late night read. Each passage is a short one minute read. Allow plenty of time for reflection and a couple re-reads. Drucker's insights are great for 5-10 minute brainstorming, discussion, and inspiration sessions.
There are many inspiring ideas.. Strictly recommended
In the previous 3 attempts, I've only read about 40 pages or so before becoming bored. The times weren't right, this book was sitting on my bookshelf for the last 3 years. Finally finished it today, and the insights are more relevant than before. With the advance of knowledge workers and society, Drucker does an excellent job explaining how we can excel in this new regime with our knowledge and what we can do to benefit the company and society. If you have not worked for a couple of years, the i...
Wonderful daily reference, bite-sized inspiration, with action points to follow up on. Originally borrowed from local library, loved it so much I bought my own copy.
This is a daily read for a year, so I’m moving through it slowly. Well written, easy to quickly read each day. Good, practical advise from a business sage.
A must-read book by Peter Drucker on management for knowledge workers, managers, executives, and entrepreneurs.
Great daily dose of business common sense which includes practical action steps like this: ask yourself “what better business performance is needed” and “what does this require of what activities.”
I'm a huge fan of Peter Drucker and this book did not disappoint. I chose it as my "daily" read this year and found myself looking forward to each morning with his words of wisdom on business and leadership. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a daily read in the year ahead.
Snippets from the wisdom of Peter DruckerThis is the thinking of management guru Peter Drucker summarised into one book. It is great for an introduction but lacking the flows and wider contexts that we would normally get from his books and articles. The content also do not age that well. For instance, when he is talking about the progress of technology he uses e-mail as the innovative example. He also mentions outsourcing as the increasing trend among organisations, while I forgot how distant ea...
supposedly bought for my Ate Milady, but I instead owned for myself, since it will be of far use to my needs now
Must have been a 20-tips-article on Medium not a 366-tips-book. It gets really repetitive and some of those advices should have stayed in the 70s.
I really wanted to like this book more than I did. Much of it was useful, but many parts were a slog to get through, and a few parts were too “out there” for my liking. Finally gave up around early October. Might go back and selectively read some entries for the remainder of the year.
Intriguing Idea: read one page per day for one year and you will be up-to-date on a lifetime of teachings from the man widely considered to be "the founder of modern management."To condense 39 books into one book, and then to summarize that one book, is a challenge beyond my capabilities. So, I'll summarize one day instead.November 12 | The Work of a Manager~ Managers set objectives~ Managers organize~ Managers motivate and communicate~ Managers establish yardsticks~ Managers develop people, inc...
"The Daily Druker is a collection of excerpts from Drucker’s books and articles spreading over a 366-day diary. The reader can read each day and possibly reflect on his/her life.The excerpts cover many topics in the life of any professional. The book discusses economics, politics, leadership and management, innovation, motivation, entrepreneurship, lean, quality, etc. from which the reader can pick and choose then use.As any other reader I favored some topics over others. I found days talking ab...
It has some good insights. I should probably go back and mark some pages.
