Containing twenty-six core selections, The Essential Drucker covers the basic principles and concerns of management and its problems, challenges, and opportunities, giving managers, executives, and professionals the tools to perform the tasks that the economy and society of tomorrow will demand of them.

One of the best management books I've read

This book opened my eyes on what management really is, beyond just business management. We are thought that management is all about business process but listening to this book, I realised that there is more than that.

Narrator performance is amazing and the book is eye opening for everyone aspiring to be a good or great manager.

Strongly recommend it.

Management of the Future

Drucker using his Forsight and experience predicts what are future age will evolve into. The now emergent information age of the knowledge worker and the rapid societal changes we are facing. a
An excellent read since much of what Drucker envisioned has come to pass.

A must for any manager

The book review the main concepts that Drukker has been writing for the last decades.

A very good use of 11 hours of your life

There are many great points in The Essential Drucker but as indicated in the subtitle, some of the information is quite dated. The book was published in 2000, nearly 20 years ago by now and some of the articles were written 60 years before that. Some would argue that the test of time proves it's worth, to which I would agree. Peter Drucker's business sense has proven the test of time but Peter's crystal ball wasn't perfect. You won't find a better source for business knowledge but you'll have to overlook some of the dated examples.

Drucker ' s story

the narrator was a great pick to help tell this story. although a lengthy and robust book...it has some superb nuggets on the world of the knowledge worker.
