Enduring Management Wisdom for Today’s Leaders From Peter F.
Drucker.
Peter Drucker’s Five Most Important Questions provides
insightful guidance and stirring inspiration for today’s leaders
and entrepreneurs. By applying Drucker’s leadership framework in
the present context of today’s leaders and those who lead with
them, this book is an essential resource for people leading,
managing and working in all three sectors–public, private and
social. Readers will gain new perspectives and develop a solid
foundation upon which to build a successful and bright future. They
will learn how to focus on why they are doing what they’re doing,
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.
