One of the greatest human beings of our time Peter F. Drucker has died this month. Certainly on of the greatest management thinkers, philosopher, historian, academician who has touched, moved and inspired millions of millions of people across the globe through his teachings, seminars, writings and books.
In ‘Management challenges for 21st century’, he has very clearly mentioned about ‘Managing oneself ‘, the last part of the book which talks about identifying ones strengths and using it to become from competent to excellent.
In the other book ‘Effective Executive’ he has nicely mentioned of effective executives produce results. First of all clearing stating that effectiveness can be learned.
In the book (so called his Autobiography) , “Adventures of the Bystander” he has beautifully pictured through his words, the social and political scenes of his early ages, especially of Europe during world war.
