内容简介
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.
作者简介
Peter Ferdinand Drucker (November 19, 1909 – November 11, 2005) was an influential writer, management consultant, and self-described “social ecologist.”
Drucker was both on his paternal and his maternal side of Jewish descent, but his parents converted to Christianity and lived in what he referred to as a "liberal" Lutheran Protestant household in Austria-Hungary. His mother Caroline Bondi had studied medicine and his father Adolf Drucker was a lawyer and high-level civil servant. Drucker was born in Vienna, the capital of Austria, in a small village named Kaasgraben (now part of the 19th district of Vienna, Döbling). He grew up in a home where intellectuals, high government officials, and scientists would meet to discuss new ideas.
After graduating from Döbling Gymnasium, Drucker found few opportunities for employment in post-World War Vienna, so he moved to Hamburg, Germany, first working as an apprentice at an established cotton trading company, then as a journalist, writing for Der Österreichische Volkswirt (The Austrian Economist). Drucker then moved to Frankfurt, where he took a job at the Daily Frankfurter General-Anzeiger. While in Frankfurt, he also earned a doctorate in international law and public law from the University of Frankfurt in 1931.
In 1933, Drucker left Germany for England. In London, he worked for an insurance company, then as the chief economist at a private bank. He also reconnected with Doris Schmitz, an acquaintance from the University of Frankfurt whom he married in 1934. The couple permanently relocated to the United States, where he became a university professor as well as a free-lance writer and business consultant.
In 1943, Drucker became a naturalized citizen of the United States. He then had a distinguished career as a teacher, first as a professor of politics and philosophy at Bennington College from 1942–1949, then for more than twenty years at New York University as a Professor of Management from 1950 to 1971.
Drucker came to California in 1971, where he developed one of the country's first executive MBA programs for working professionals at Claremont Graduate University (then known as Claremont Graduate School). From 1971 to his death he was the Clarke Professor of Social Science and Management at Claremont Graduate University. Claremont Graduate University's management school was named the "Peter F. Drucker Graduate School of Management" in his honor in 1987 (later renamed the "Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management"). He taught his last class there in 2002 at age 92. Drucker also continued to act as a consultant to businesses and non-profit organizations well into his nineties.
He died November 11, 2005 in Claremont, California of natural causes at 95.

前言/序言
好的,这是一份关于《The Daily Drucker: 366 Days of Insight and Inspiration for Anyone Who Manages Anything》的图书简介,内容详实,力求自然流畅,完全不涉及您提到的特定书籍内容。 《掌控时间,驾驭变革:现代领导力与个人效能的精要指南》 一部关于组织智慧、个人精进与时代适应性的深度洞察之作 在信息洪流与瞬息万变的商业环境中,真正的领导力不再是僵化的教条,而是与时俱进的洞察力、清晰的自我认知以及对组织脉络的深刻理解。本书并非传统意义上的管理学教科书,而是一本面向所有身处决策链条、渴望提升个人效能和组织韧性的专业人士的行动指南。它汇聚了跨越数十年、历经无数组织兴衰的实践智慧,旨在帮助读者在日常工作中,将理论转化为切实可行的洞察与决策。 核心主题:从“管理”到“创造价值” 本书深入探讨了一个核心命题:在任何时代,一个组织或个体的成功,最终都取决于其是否能够持续、有效地创造并交付独特的价值。我们不再满足于“做对的事情”,而是聚焦于“做正确的事情,并且以正确的方式完成”。 全书结构围绕三大支柱展开:战略洞察、组织效能、个人精进。 第一部分:战略洞察——洞悉环境与定位 本部分着重于如何在复杂且模糊的环境中,建立清晰的战略视野。我们审视了“目的性”在战略中的核心地位。一个组织的首要任务是明确其存在的理由——其社会功能与经济贡献的交汇点。缺乏清晰目的性的战略,如同没有罗盘的航行,即便行动迅猛,也可能偏离正确的航道。 重新定义“创新”: 创新并非总是指颠覆性的技术突破。本书强调,持续的、微小的、系统性的流程优化和市场适应性调整,同样是不可或缺的创新形式。我们探讨了如何构建一个鼓励试验、容忍失败的组织文化,确保创新成为一种常态,而非偶发事件。 聚焦“关键少数”: 面对无限的需求和有限的资源,如何进行有效的取舍?本书提倡一种“负向清单”的思考方式——明确什么不应该做,从而解放资源去专注于那些真正能产生杠杆效应的关键活动。这涉及到对市场趋势的敏锐捕捉,以及对自身核心竞争力的诚实评估。 危机中的机遇: 市场的不确定性往往是检验组织真正韧性的试金石。我们分析了那些在经济低谷期反而实现跨越式增长的企业,它们共同的特点是:对现金流的严苛管理、对客户需求的深入挖掘,以及对长期承诺的坚守。 第二部分:组织效能——构建高效能的系统 一个伟大的战略需要一个能够有效执行的组织结构来承载。本部分将焦点转向“人与流程的协同”,探讨如何构建一个既能保持高效运转,又能快速响应变化的组织形态。 人才的重塑与定位: 现代组织需要的不再是“功能专家”,而是具备跨界思维和解决复杂问题的“系统思考者”。本书详细阐述了如何识别、培养和留住那些能够驱动变革的关键人才,并探讨了薪酬、激励与责任分配之间的微妙平衡。我们强调,将“工作”视为一种赋权而非控制的手段,是释放团队潜能的关键。 决策的艺术与科学: 决策质量直接决定了组织的高度。我们探讨了如何平衡自上而下的愿景与自下而上的专业判断。书中提供了多层次的决策模型,用以区分需要快速拍板的战术决策与需要深思熟虑的战略决策,并强调了信息透明化在提高决策群体责任感方面的重要作用。 沟通的效能: 沟通的本质不是信息的传递,而是意义的共建。本书批判了信息过载的弊病,倡导建立简洁、目标明确的沟通机制。特别关注了跨部门和跨层级沟通的障碍分析,以及如何利用结构化会议和反馈机制,将沟通转化为生产力。 第三部分:个人精进——领导者的时间与精力管理 领导力始于自我管理。本书的第三部分将目光拉回个体,探讨如何在一个充满干扰的世界中,保持专注力、时间和精力,以实现可持续的卓越表现。 时间的主权: 时间管理并非简单地安排日程表,而是关于管理精力分配的哲学。我们区分了“忙碌”与“产出”,引导读者识别那些消耗精力但回报甚微的活动,并系统性地构建“深度工作”时段。核心在于,将一天中最宝贵的时间段预留给最具战略价值的任务。 知识的积累与应用: 终身学习是现代职场生存的最低要求。本书提供了一套知识吸收和转化的框架,强调“学以致用”的即时性。如何将阅读、培训、经验总结转化为可供团队借鉴的“组织知识资产”,是衡量个人成长的重要标尺。 伦理与责任: 真正的领导力根植于坚实的道德基础之上。本书提醒读者,每一次商业决策都带有社会影响。我们探讨了在追求利润最大化与履行企业公民责任之间,如何找到一个既能确保长期生存、又能赢得公众信任的平衡点。清晰的职业操守不仅是约束,更是构建个人品牌和组织信誉的强大工具。 献给谁? 本书适合: 渴望提升组织运营效率的中高层管理者。 正在经历职业转型或寻求个人效能突破的专业人士。 创业者和企业创始人,以获取更宏观的视角来审视日常运营。 所有相信通过系统性的思考和持续的自我完善,可以超越当前局限的终身学习者。 总结: 这不是一本提供快速解决方案的小册子,而是一份深刻的反思工具箱。它要求读者投入时间去审视自己的假设、挑战现有的流程,并以更具远见的眼光来定位自己的工作与组织在未来图景中的位置。掌握这些精要,意味着你不仅能应对今天的挑战,更能为明天的机遇做好准备。
