Product Description
A powerful new learning tool for the ambitious, self-directed manager, entrepreneur, or business person today, The Daily Drucker distils the essence of management guru Peter F. Drucker's teachings in an easy-to-access, daily calendar format. It presents in organized form: a key statement of Drucker's, followed by a few lines of comment and explanation, with topics ranging across a great many fields of his work: management, business and the world economy; a changing society; innovation and entrepreneurship; decision-making; the changing workforce and the non-profit and their management. However, the most important part of this book are the blank halves of its pages. They are what the readers will contribute, their actions, decisions and the results of these decisions.
There are 366 readings, each addressing a major topic, one for every day of the year. Each reading starts with a topic and a "Drucker Proverb" such as "Know Thy Time", capturing the essence of the topic. Then there is a teaching taken directly from the works of Peter Drucker. Next comes the action step, where you are asked to "Think on" the teaching and apply it to yourself and your organization.
* Peter. F. Drucker's teachings, encapsulated in an easy to access, daily calendar format.
* Examines the four fundamental areas of Drucker's theories: the Individual, Management, Society and Change.
* The quintessential Drucker, a new generation of managers will be introduced to his entire body of work in a user-friendly style.

A Daily Dose of Drucker---What Corporate America Needs July 5, 2009
Larry Underwood (Scottsdale, AZ)
The genius of Peter Drucker has been neatly bundled in "366 days of insight & motivation for getting the right things done." This masterpiece is the culmination of Drucker's greatest pearls of business wisdom, from his early work in the late '30s all the way up to his recent efforts shortly before his death.
It's doubtful a more powerful force in analyzing the nature of business will ever come along; at least in this generation. Aided by the brilliant Joseph Maciariello, this book is a wonderful culmination of Drucker's philosophy on how business should operate; by alligning its core values as an organization with basic human decency---honesty and integrity above all else.
The message delivered here is compelling. Clearly, the priniples set forth by Drucker are not being followed rigorously enough by the vast majority of corporate America; hence, the current economic crisis, and the lack of credibility big business has failed to achieve in the eyes of its workers.
Greed & hubris have been major contributing factors in the worst economic meltdown since The Great Depression, but the solution to achieving a long lasting recovery may be found inside the 429 pages of this great book.
GREAT BOOK IN GREAT SHAPE! May 21, 2009
D. Mason
I was hoping to this book would be in good enough shape to use as a gift. And it was. It was "like new" if not new and completely unblemished. Perfect transaction.

Just a great book to have on the nightstand. You can awake and read a daily passage about business, Motivation, innovation, management, effectiveness, technology, etc. For me it is a great jump start for the day when I read a quick passage. I find myself grounded, and flooded with ideas. Highly recommend. My favorite Drucker book aside from "Post Capitalist Society".
Must be kept on every managers tabletop. January 31, 2009
