Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices

Management: Tasks Responsibilities Practices by Peter Drucker
Why We Like This Book:
Don’t let its size be off-putting. It always makes us laugh that the definitive, deepest book about management is not required reading, let alone a course all by itself, at MBA schools today. Complex, layered, and complete. The War and Peace of management literature. Only better.

It is truly amazing. Thanks for highlighting Drucker for me. This book is quite big so I’ve had to renew it a few times. Thanks for reminding me to use my local library as well. This is a management/business bible. It was here I first discovered why a business I worked for a few years ago failed and what the purpose of business is.
Thanks

How does this book compare to “People and Performance”? As I loved it.

This book took me 2 months to read when it takes me a two or three days to finish a regular book.
WOW!
At 820 pages and 61 chapters of compact font, every paragraph can be a chapter of a book on its own. So far it is THE most impressive guide I’ve ever read on any topic. Goes back to the 1900’s up to 1975 and the future which we live in today. You will be re-reading paragraphs over and over just to soak in the comprehensive writing and thoroughness only Peter Drucker can implement.
Fantastic book recommendation Mark and Mike!
