Synopsis

A year-long leadership development course, divided into short, weekly lessons, based on Peter Drucker’s personal coaching program, previously unpublished material, and selected readings from the management guru’s classic works, compiled by his longtime collaborator Joseph A. Maciariello.

A Year with Peter Drucker distills the essence of Peter Drucker’s personal mentorship program into an easy-to-follow 52-week course on executive leadership, exploring the themes Drucker felt were most important to leadership development, including:

• Leaders Must Set Sights on the Important and not the Urgent—a key differentiator between a subordinate and a chief.
• Management is a Human Activity—Process must serve people, in and out of the organization.
• The Roadmap to Personal Effectiveness—the importance of mission and doing the Right Things not just Getting Things Done.
• The critical importance of leadership succession especially at top ranks of the organization.

Each weekly management meditation includes a lesson and a message or anecdote taken from Drucker’s extensive body of work, as well as suggestions for further reading, reflective questions, and quick, easy prompts to help readers incorporate the business management knowledge they’ve learned into their daily work.

A lifetime of wisdom brilliantly honed into a single essential volume by Drucker’s collaborator Joseph A. Maciariello, A Year with Peter Drucker gives both lifelong Drucker fans and young executives now discovering his brilliance an invaluable opportunity to learn directly from the late master.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Peter Drucker was the original big thinker. His ideas on management, innovation, leadership, effectiveness, and adapting to change formed the foundations of modern business wisdom. Drucker was also a mentor to many notable leaders in business, government, and nonprofits, a role he valued tremendously. In A Year with Peter Drucker, you will get to experience his mentorship process firsthand as his longtime collaborator Joseph A. Maciariello leads you from week to week, lesson to lesson, using previously unpublished material and selected readings from Drucker's classic works to highlight critical lessons in leadership, personal effectiveness, and mission-driven strategy. It features examples from the individuals and organizations that Drucker helped to guide to success, including his work assisting leaders in creating some of the world's most influential religious organizations.

Joseph A. Maciariello has distilled the essence of Drucker's personal mentorship program into an easy-to-follow 52-week course. Each week contains a lesson, message, or anecdote taken from Drucker's extensive body of published and unpublished work, moving from theme to theme throughout the year. It also includes further readings and reflections on the week's subject, and deep reflection questions—or quick brainstorming prompts—to help readers incorporate the message into their day-to-day work.

The year will cover the themes Drucker felt were most important to leadership development, such as

• Leaders Must Set Sights on the important and not the urgent. This is a key differentiator of moving from being a functionary to being a leader.

• Management is a Human Activity. Process must serve people, in and out of the organzation.

• The Roadmap to Personal Effectiveness depends on a clear mission and on doing the right things, not just getting things done.

• Management succession, especially to top positions, is a crucial decision and often a big gamble. It's worth your time to get it right.

Maciariello, who worked alongside Drucker as a collaborator on a number of his books, delivers the ultimate Drucker companion—and the next best thing to being mentored by the legend himself.
