Peter F. Drucker, Joseph A. Maciariello
Collins, 2005
The Effective Executive by Peter Drucker et.
The author has written another classic on the dynamics of
executive management. The book suggests that organizations and
the people who run them need to assess what must be done
as a condition precedent to directing their energies productively. Time is the classic limiting factor. It applies
to the activities of everyone in the organization. The effective use of discretionary time is another ...

Peter F. Drucker
Collins, 2006
One of the greatest management handbooks
The late Peter F. Drucker is the most influential management thinker of the 20th Century. This book was first published in 1955 and consists of five parts plus a proper introduction and conclusion. Drucker, in the Preface, explains that the first aim of this book "is to narrow the gap between what can be done and what is being done, between the leaders in management and the average".

The Effective Executive: The Definitive Guide to Getting the Right Things Done (Harperbusiness Essentials)50 reviews
Peter F. Drucker
Collins, 2006
Very Effective!
Peter Drucker wrote this book back in 1966 and it is as pertinent today as it was then. It concentrates on a small number of practices to help executives manage themselves - a precursor to managing others. Drucker makes the point that, "No one is born an effective executive. No one is a natural... It must be learned...In addition, it is not exceedingly difficult." That's welcome news for all of ...

I fully concur: 1st book to present innovation & entrepreneurship as a purposeful & systematic discipline!
I am very gratified to note that this wonderful book is still around & is being re-released as a new print. I read it when it was first published in the mid-80s. I remember that I had reread it during the early 90's when I had just started my own consultancy business.

Management Challenges for the 21st Century59 reviews
Peter F. Drucker
Collins, 2001
"Druker thougths will live on for many decades to come".
Management new paradigms, strategy, the change leader, information challenges, knowledge worker productivity, managing oneself, Druker proved himself more than capable in his definitions and unique challenge to managers. Rather of a retrospective of his past work "he set aside to wirte not the known past but the unknown future".
Peter Drucker discusses the profound social and economic changes ...

Managing the Nonprofit Organization3 reviews
Peter F. Drucker
Collins, 2006
A must read for any leader -- nonprofit or not
Bought the book for a class and have already given one copy as a gift and recommended the book to several others in leadership positions. Great read for leaders in any type organization. As a matter of fact, if you can motivate your people in a "for-profit" organization the way Drucker speaks of in this book, you can't help but be successful.

The Daily Drucker: 366 Days of Insight and Motivation for Getting the Right Things Done26 reviews
Peter F. Drucker
Collins, 2004
Because you have 2 minutes a day
Every morning when you get to your office, you boot up your computer and you wait - conservatively - 2 minutes. During those 2 minutes, you should be reading that day's entry in the "Daily Drucker." Whether the Topic of the Month is "decision-making," "leadership" or "organizational behavior," Drucker's signature style will clear your head and give you a "swing thought" for the rest of the day. ...

The Essential Drucker: The Best of Sixty Years of Peter Drucker's Essential Writings on Management40 reviews
Peter F. Drucker
Collins, 2003
Managment for people who can think outside the box
Peter Drucker has a long, well-earned reputation for writing about management skills and practices. He writes plainly, cogently and with direct examples of his observations. It's too bad more people do not read (or if they do, do not practice) his principles: marketing is listening, not selling, and if you have listened (and responded) accordingly, the product/service will be obvious and ...

Adventures of a Bystander15 reviews
Peter F. Drucker Foundation for Nonprofit Management
Wiley, 1998
Meeting the people Drucker met
Instead of the usual self-focused auto-biography, Drucker introduces us to the people that have shaped him. Some are famous (Bucky Fuller, Marshal Mcluhan) some are not (his elementary school teacher). Some are good, some evil, but they are are worth meeting, especially through Drucker's eyes. A good read.

Invaluable for all non-profits
Non-profit institutions, the agents of human change, have moved from the margins to the center of American society because government has limited ability to perform social tasks. As non-profits are the nation's biggest "employer" when considering the numbers of hours contributed by volunteers they need good management. There is not much material available to help non-profit leaders and management ...

An oppurtunity for you to read!
The title of this book says it all and I am very happy the book is here to read. Being a business owner with constant innovation within the company, I found this book really helpful. Don't think entrepreneurs are innovative by nature, this is something you choose to do yourself.
Drucker has put together a story that catches your imagination and encourages you to go and seek opportunities. As ...

This is the book on how to make a business WORK! I am president of a small company and immediately took the ideas and practices out of this book and applied them to great success. This is not a quick read, and every item will not pertain to each individual person, but the observations presented explained a huge number of obstacles I was facing. If you are trying to manage any form of modern ...

Jossey-Bass, 1998
Fantastic - quintessential Drucker - also private sector
Been a disciple of PFD for 20 years. Have used his techniques and concepts to facilitate many planning sessions in private (including Fortune 500) and public sector. This is great stuff and right in the mainstream. Applies to for profit as well as nonprofit. Great step by step approach. Associated workbook is also worthwhile.
