I was browsing in my local independent bookstore over the weekend when I went in to get my Saturday morning coffee. I don't buy enough books there so I was looking around to see if they had something I wanted. This special volume of Peter F. Drucker caught my attention. It's a great little book with each page containing a short, but still substantive, exerpt from Drucker's copious work. There's a pge for every day of the year, and a little journal-style bookmark ribbon to keep your place
I don't much care for books of daily inspirational readings because, well, they're usually crap. But not Drucker. He's the real deal - the best business thinker of our time and someone who has forgotten more about strategy, change, leadership, management, information work, and innovation than most self-proclaimed experts will ever know. Better, he speaks in plain words without consultant-isms or the jargon of academia.
Reading The Daily Drucker is kind of like reading the Bible and, if you or someone you know is a student or practitioner of anything business, this book would make a great holiday gift. While there is certainly nothing holy about this book, Drucker's insight and practical, no-nonsense way is inspiring. We could do a lot worse than starting the day with a dose of Drucker.
