This is one of the books that every intellectual worker must read in order to grow professionally and personally.

This work is full of solid descriptions of effective executive behavior. The specific examples are a window to the past and do date the book, but the principles are timeless. Drucker's text is tightly focused and well organized. I think this would be a great read for a new manager or an experienced leader looking to regain his/her focus, priorities and principles. This book conveys Drucker's wisdom so clearly and simply that it has universal appeal for leaders in virtually any field. I have read many books on leadership and self-development and believe his book to be among the best. It is well worth your money and time.
