Peter Drucker
Who is he? He's the best management guru that ever lived.
I've only discovered Peter last week. Somebody, not sure who, recommended his books. I went on Amazon, searched for his books and decided to buy "The Daily Drucker." So far, from the intro and from the several daily entries, I can say that people are right. Peter Drucker is the best. I love his writings.
The daily Drucker is broken up to 366 entries. I plan to read a short entry or two every day (it takes me around 5 minutes). I've read several so far and each entry contains so much wisdom packed to a page. People say that Drucker's words are concise and that he can pack a lot of wisdom in a sentence. That's what I've been finding so far. For instance, what do you think of "If leaders are unable to slough off yesterday, to abandon yesterday, they simply will not be able to create tommorow" or "All organizations need to know that virtually no program or activity will perform effectively for a long time without modification and redesign. Eventually every activity becomes obsolete."
I'd say that if you want to read a good management book, read Drucker. I am definitely going to read a lot of him in the future.
