how to do it better, and how to develop a realistic, motivational
plan for achieving their goals. This brief, clear, and accessible
guide — peppered with commentary from distinguished
management gurus, contemporary entrepreneurs and dynamic millennial
leaders –will challenge readers and stimulate spirited
discussion and action within any organization, inspiring positive
change and new levels of excellence. In addition to contributions
from Jim Collins, Marshall Goldsmith, and Judith Rodin, the book
features new insights from some of today’s most influential leaders
in business (GE and Salesforce.com), academia (Harvard Business
School and Northwestern University), social enterprise (Levo
League, Pencils of Promise and Why Millennials Matter) and the
military (United States Military Academy), who have been directly
influenced by Drucker’s theory of management.
