With Peter Drucker’s five essential questions and the help of five
of today’s thought leaders, this little book will challenge readers
to take a close look at the very heart of their organizations and
what drives them. A tool for self-assessment and transformation,
answering these five questions will fundamentally change the way
you work, helping you lead your organization to an exceptional
level of performance.
Peter Drucker’s five questions are:
* What is our Mission? with Jim Collins
* Who is our Customer? with Phil Kotler
* What does the Customer Value? with Jim
Kouzes
* What are our Results? with Judith Rodin
* What is our Plan? with V. Kasturi Rangan
These essential questions, grounded in Peter Drucker’s theories
of management, will take readers on a exploration of organizational
and personal self-discovery, giving them a means to assess how to
be–how to develop quality, character, mind-set, values and
courage. The questions lead to action. By asking these questions,
readers can focus on why they are doing what they are doing in
their work, and how to do it better. Designed for today’s busy
professionals, this brief, clear and accessible book will challenge
readers to ask these provocative questions and it will stimulate
spirited discussions and action within any organization, inspiring
positive change and new levels of excellence, helping all to
envision the future of theirs’ or any organization.
