Zeit. Stärken. Beitrag. Konzentration. Entscheidungsprozesse Themen, die in zahlreichen Büchern behandelt wurden, seit Drucker sie zum ersten Mal in diesem Buch aufgriff. Doch sein Buch ist das einzige unverzichtbare Handbuch für den Manager, das die Themen mit ausreichendem Tiefgang und aus der richtigen Perspektive betrachtet, um handlungsfähig zu machen. (aus Die 100 besten Wirtschaftsbücher aller Zeiten, Murmann 2011) Viele Managementbücher handeln davon, andere zu führen. Dieses Buch zeigt dagegen, wie man sich selbst führen kann, um wirksamer und zielgerichteter zu arbeiten. Um effektiv zu sein, reichen Intelligenz, Fleiß und Wissen allein nicht aus. Effektivität ist eine andere, eine eigene Qualität. Andererseits sind aber auch keine besonderen Begabungen erforderlich. Man muss vielmehr ein paar ganz bestimmte und ziemlich einfache Dinge angehen. Das Geheimnis sind einige wenige Praktiken, die in diesem Buch vorgestellt und erörtert werden. Effektivität ist heute die Schlüsselkompetenz dafür, dass man überhaupt beschäftigungsfähig ist und erfolgreich werden kann. Erfolge im Beruf sind in allen Organisationen überwiegend die Folge von richtigem und gutem Management. Erst dadurch werden auch Talent, Intelligenz, Kreativität, Information und Wissen in Resultate transformiert. Fredmund Malik, Management-Denker und Autor des Bestsellers Führen, Leisten, Leben

Previously unpublished talks from the Father of Modern Management Throughout his professional life, Peter F. Drucker inspired millions of business leaders not only through his famous writings but also through his lectures and keynotes. These speeches contained some of his most valuable insights, but had never been published in book form―until now. The Drucker Lectures features more than 30 talks from one of management's most important figures. Drawn from the Drucker Archives at the Drucker Institute at Claremont Graduate University, the lectures showcase Drucker's wisdom, wit, profundity, and prescience on such topics During his life, Drucker well understood that over the last 150 years the world had become a society of large institutions―and that they would only become larger and more powerful. He contended that unless these institutions were effectively managed and ethically led, the good health of society as a whole would be in peril. His prediction is unfolding before our eyes. The Drucker Lectures is a timely, instructive book proving that responsible behavior and good business can, in fact, exist hand in hand.
