About this ebook
From Scribd: About the Book
Peter Ferdinand Drucker is an Austrian management consultant, educator, and author, whose writings contributed to the philosophical and practical foundations of the modern business corporation. In his tell-all self help book, Managing Oneself, Drucker teaches readers how to channel their productivity and manage their business.
With ambition, drive, and talent, anyone can rise to the top of their chosen profession regardless of where they started out. But with this opportunity comes responsibility — Drucker writes that companies today aren't managing their knowledge workers careers and each individual must be their own chief executive officer.
It’s up to the individual to carve out their place in the world and know when to change course. And it's up to them to keep themselves engaged and productive during a career that may span some 50 years. In Managing Oneself, Drucker explains how to do this.
Drucker offers readers the keys to this personal management, stating that when one operates with a combination of one’s own strengths and self-knowledge, one can achieve true and lasting excellence. Managing Oneself identifies the probing questions readers need to ask to gain the insights essential for taking charge of their career.
