Chapter 4. The Drucker Bucket

CORE COMPETENCY #4
We are privileged to be leaders and managers and we steward that privilege by being lifelong learners and practitioners in the art of management. We don’t just give lip service to management—we are disciplined students of great leadership and management thinkers like Peter Drucker, Ken Blanchard and others.

RESOURCES IN THE DRUCKER BUCKET

• EXERCISE your management muscles with a daily dose of Drucker. Many leaders read Peter Drucker's book, The Effective Executive, once a year. Others enjoy The Daily Drucker: 366 Days of Insight and Motivation for Getting the Right Things Done.  The point, says Drucker, is to practice, practice, practice the art of management.
