In the Book "Drucker and Me" Peter Drucker is quoted as saying, “No
century has seen more leaders with more charisma than the Twentieth century,
and never have political leaders done damage than the four giant leaders of the
twentieth century: Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, Mao” One person can do a lot of
damage. But can one person do a lot of good? “Drucker and Me” is a story of Bob
Buford and Peter Drucker, who was a management consultant, educator, and highly
influential author. He is known to have developed the management education
concept which emphasizes management by objective. Bob Buford is an entrepreneur
and bestselling author who also founded Leadership Network to serve leaders of
churches and coached them to go from success to significance.
This book has 14 chapters and each
chapter is short, pithy, and accessible. One of the best part of this book (in
my opinion) are the gems of wisdom that are permeated throughout its pages. For
example, one of the sayings goes like this: “It was not unusual for Peter to
begin a meeting by saying, “tell me what you’re not doing.” In other words, not
everything you try is going to work out, so what have you decided not to do?”
This is just one example of the wisdom that is found in this book. It will help
you un-clutter your thinking and help you focus on the essentials.
