Product Description
Product Description
We live in an age of unprecedented opportunity: with ambition, drive, and talent, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession?regardless of where you started out.
But with opportunity comes responsibility. Companies today aren?t managing their knowledge workers? careers. Instead, you must be your own chief executive officer. That means it?s up to you to carve out your place in the world and know when to change course. And it?s up to you to keep yourself engaged and productive during a career that may span some 50 years.
In Managing Oneself, Peter Drucker explains how to do it. The keys: Cultivate a deep understanding of yourself?by identifying your most valuable strengths and most dangerous weaknesses. Articulate how you learn and work with others and what your most deeply held values are. Describe the type of work environment where you can make the greatest contribution.
Only when you operate with a combination of your strengths and self-knowledge can you achieve true?and lasting?excellence. Managing Oneself identifies the probing questions you need to ask to gain the insights essential for taking charge of your career.
Peter Drucker was a writer, teacher, and consultant. His thirty-four books have been published in more than seventy languages. He founded the Peter F. Drucker Foundation for Nonprofit Management, and counseled thirteen governments, public services institutions, and major corporations. Thomas A. Stewart is the editor of Harvard Business Review.

Format:Paperback
Managing Oneself is an essay, as opposed to a book; which is not surprising as it started off life as an article in the Harvard Business Review (HBR).
This series by HBR is of only important and seminal articles, and this one is no exception. It brings important themes in an easily accessible prose and is well worth a read. Managing the second half of your life is an especially interesting section!
That said, if you have access to an academic library, you'll be able to look it up in the physical or on-line archives of HBR and maybe save yourself a few pounds in the process.

This is a nice little book that is especially nice to read on a train or bus ride in the early morning journey to your work or study place. The only downfall is its price which is a bit expensive for a book of 62 pages or so, but the books content will not disappoint you!

OK this is not one of Druckers longer books.
OK it may only be 3500 words.
And if you buy a book and can only place a value on the number of words per £ then you might not like it.
If you want to read the words.
Reflect on them.
Let them speak to you.
And where your career is now, right now.
If it inspires you as it did me.
Then you will be as delighted with this book as I am.

50 pages. Small book. Large typeface. Just nothing here of any depth.
Very disappointed flicking through this. The whole book is probably about 3500 words. Just nothing here!
