內容簡介
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.
作者簡介
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,這是一份關於《The Daily Drucker: 366 Days of Insight and Inspiration for Anyone Who Manages Anything》的圖書簡介,內容詳實,力求自然流暢,完全不涉及您提到的特定書籍內容。 《掌控時間,駕馭變革:現代領導力與個人效能的精要指南》 一部關於組織智慧、個人精進與時代適應性的深度洞察之作 在信息洪流與瞬息萬變的商業環境中,真正的領導力不再是僵化的教條,而是與時俱進的洞察力、清晰的自我認知以及對組織脈絡的深刻理解。本書並非傳統意義上的管理學教科書,而是一本麵嚮所有身處決策鏈條、渴望提升個人效能和組織韌性的專業人士的行動指南。它匯聚瞭跨越數十年、曆經無數組織興衰的實踐智慧,旨在幫助讀者在日常工作中,將理論轉化為切實可行的洞察與決策。 核心主題:從“管理”到“創造價值” 本書深入探討瞭一個核心命題:在任何時代,一個組織或個體的成功,最終都取決於其是否能夠持續、有效地創造並交付獨特的價值。我們不再滿足於“做對的事情”,而是聚焦於“做正確的事情,並且以正確的方式完成”。 全書結構圍繞三大支柱展開:戰略洞察、組織效能、個人精進。 第一部分:戰略洞察——洞悉環境與定位 本部分著重於如何在復雜且模糊的環境中,建立清晰的戰略視野。我們審視瞭“目的性”在戰略中的核心地位。一個組織的首要任務是明確其存在的理由——其社會功能與經濟貢獻的交匯點。缺乏清晰目的性的戰略,如同沒有羅盤的航行,即便行動迅猛,也可能偏離正確的航道。 重新定義“創新”: 創新並非總是指顛覆性的技術突破。本書強調,持續的、微小的、係統性的流程優化和市場適應性調整,同樣是不可或缺的創新形式。我們探討瞭如何構建一個鼓勵試驗、容忍失敗的組織文化,確保創新成為一種常態,而非偶發事件。 聚焦“關鍵少數”: 麵對無限的需求和有限的資源,如何進行有效的取捨?本書提倡一種“負嚮清單”的思考方式——明確什麼不應該做,從而解放資源去專注於那些真正能産生杠杆效應的關鍵活動。這涉及到對市場趨勢的敏銳捕捉,以及對自身核心競爭力的誠實評估。 危機中的機遇: 市場的不確定性往往是檢驗組織真正韌性的試金石。我們分析瞭那些在經濟低榖期反而實現跨越式增長的企業,它們共同的特點是:對現金流的嚴苛管理、對客戶需求的深入挖掘,以及對長期承諾的堅守。 第二部分:組織效能——構建高效能的係統 一個偉大的戰略需要一個能夠有效執行的組織結構來承載。本部分將焦點轉嚮“人與流程的協同”,探討如何構建一個既能保持高效運轉,又能快速響應變化的組織形態。 人纔的重塑與定位: 現代組織需要的不再是“功能專傢”,而是具備跨界思維和解決復雜問題的“係統思考者”。本書詳細闡述瞭如何識彆、培養和留住那些能夠驅動變革的關鍵人纔,並探討瞭薪酬、激勵與責任分配之間的微妙平衡。我們強調,將“工作”視為一種賦權而非控製的手段,是釋放團隊潛能的關鍵。 決策的藝術與科學: 決策質量直接決定瞭組織的高度。我們探討瞭如何平衡自上而下的願景與自下而上的專業判斷。書中提供瞭多層次的決策模型,用以區分需要快速拍闆的戰術決策與需要深思熟慮的戰略決策,並強調瞭信息透明化在提高決策群體責任感方麵的重要作用。 溝通的效能: 溝通的本質不是信息的傳遞,而是意義的共建。本書批判瞭信息過載的弊病,倡導建立簡潔、目標明確的溝通機製。特彆關注瞭跨部門和跨層級溝通的障礙分析,以及如何利用結構化會議和反饋機製,將溝通轉化為生産力。 第三部分:個人精進——領導者的時間與精力管理 領導力始於自我管理。本書的第三部分將目光拉迴個體,探討如何在一個充滿乾擾的世界中,保持專注力、時間和精力,以實現可持續的卓越錶現。 時間的主權: 時間管理並非簡單地安排日程錶,而是關於管理精力分配的哲學。我們區分瞭“忙碌”與“産齣”,引導讀者識彆那些消耗精力但迴報甚微的活動,並係統性地構建“深度工作”時段。核心在於,將一天中最寶貴的時間段預留給最具戰略價值的任務。 知識的積纍與應用: 終身學習是現代職場生存的最低要求。本書提供瞭一套知識吸收和轉化的框架,強調“學以緻用”的即時性。如何將閱讀、培訓、經驗總結轉化為可供團隊藉鑒的“組織知識資産”,是衡量個人成長的重要標尺。 倫理與責任: 真正的領導力根植於堅實的道德基礎之上。本書提醒讀者,每一次商業決策都帶有社會影響。我們探討瞭在追求利潤最大化與履行企業公民責任之間,如何找到一個既能確保長期生存、又能贏得公眾信任的平衡點。清晰的職業操守不僅是約束,更是構建個人品牌和組織信譽的強大工具。 獻給誰? 本書適閤: 渴望提升組織運營效率的中高層管理者。 正在經曆職業轉型或尋求個人效能突破的專業人士。 創業者和企業創始人,以獲取更宏觀的視角來審視日常運營。 所有相信通過係統性的思考和持續的自我完善,可以超越當前局限的終身學習者。 總結: 這不是一本提供快速解決方案的小冊子,而是一份深刻的反思工具箱。它要求讀者投入時間去審視自己的假設、挑戰現有的流程,並以更具遠見的眼光來定位自己的工作與組織在未來圖景中的位置。掌握這些精要,意味著你不僅能應對今天的挑戰,更能為明天的機遇做好準備。
