The Daily Drucker: 366 Days of Insight and Motivation for Getting the Right Things Done Reviews


  • Ray Evangelista

    supposedly bought for my Ate Milady, but I instead owned for myself, since it will be of far use to my needs now

  • Pavel Annenkov

    Ключевые мысли от главного мирового теоретика менеджмента. Читал в течении года по одной странице каждый день, чтобы было о чем подумать с утра. Технологии меняются, а ключевые подходы в управлении остаются такими же.

  • Lance Willett

    Wonderful daily reference, bite-sized inspiration, with action points to follow up on. Originally borrowed from local library, loved it so much I bought my own copy.

  • Tanan

    ปีเตอร์ ดรักเกอร์ ปรมาจารย์แห่งการบริหารจัดการสมัยใหม่ เขียนหนังสือเยอะมาก เท่าที่เจ้าตัวบอกก็ 34 เล่ม หรือมากกว่าหนึ่งหมื่นหน้า

    อ่านไหวไหม?

    ถ้าไม่ไหว อ่านเล่มนี้ก่อน

    เล่มนี้สกัดเอาเนื้อหาสำคัญจากงานเขียนของดรักเกอร์ มารวมเล่มโดยแยกเป็นหมวดหมู่จำนวน 365 เรื่อง ล้อตามจำนวนวันในรอบปี

    ตื่นเช้ามาทำงาน เปิดอ่านหน้าตามวันที่ในเล่ม ก็เหมือนมีที่ปรึกษาด้านการบริหารอยู่ใกล้ ๆ ก็เป็นสิริมงคลไปอีกแบบหนึ่งนะ

    Snippets from the wisdom of Peter Drucker

    This is the thinking of management guru Peter Drucker summarised into one book. It is great for an introduction but lacking the flows and wider contexts that we would normally get from his books and articles.

    The content also do not age that well. For instance, when he is talking about the progress of technology he uses e-mail as the innovative example. He also mentions outsourcing as the increasing trend among organisations, while I forgot how distant early 2000s was when Drucker uses IBM vs Apple as an example for innovation (with IBM as the innovative one and Apple as the loser). This lack of edginess or fresh perspectives are pretty much reflected throughout the book.

    This, of course, is probably a bit unfair since Drucker sadly passed away in 2005 and a lot of changes have occurred since then. Nevertheless, this respectfully explains why reading this book sometimes feels like reading an academic textbook back from my business school days.

  • Jeff Scott

    This is a good combination of Drucker's best books, but they are just snippets. It takes a page from one of his books and puts it in a sound bite. That seems fine if you need an introduction, but not as useful. I read the Effective Executive before this and found it much more useful. Many of the passages from that book go into Daily Drucker. It was a bit redundant for me as a result.

  • Raghda

    Simply not for anyone to read only for those who are business oriented. It is highly recommended for managers, CEOs, and people who have a managerial position or waiting and preparing for a managerial position. I believe it will be on my to read list after 5 or 10 years from now so I can be fully interested and enjoy it more.

  • Lori Grant

    A must-read book by Peter Drucker on management for knowledge workers, managers, executives, and entrepreneurs.

  • Bahadir

    There are many inspiring ideas.. Strictly recommended

  • Sergei Zotov

    Must have been a 20-tips-article on Medium not a 366-tips-book. It gets really repetitive and some of those advices should have stayed in the 70s.

  • David Roberts

    Peter Drucker is a management guru from the prior millennium that has written some very classic works on leadership and management. In my new role in state government I found his insights very helpful. He is both thoughtful and analytical, and dissects common leadership situations to provide insight and new ideas.

    This is a great daily reading book for leaders. Strongly recommend it.

    One small irritation: There is a strict copy limit. I like to cut and paste the best quotes from my daily reading books into my journal, and this book limits copying to the point that I had to type the quotes into the journal myself. Apparently I feel the need to whine about this but it was not a huge deal. There was NO ability to copy any quotes. However, when I loaded the book onto another computer I was able to copy some passages.

  • Yushi Wei

    In the previous 3 attempts, I've only read about 40 pages or so before becoming bored. The times weren't right, this book was sitting on my bookshelf for the last 3 years. Finally finished it today, and the insights are more relevant than before. With the advance of knowledge workers and society, Drucker does an excellent job explaining how we can excel in this new regime with our knowledge and what we can do to benefit the company and society.

    If you have not worked for a couple of years, the information may be a bit harder to digest as it's hard for me to figure out how it could be relevant to me (aka 3 years ago).

  • Luke

    I know Drucker is brilliant, but his writing doesn't translate well to this format. The way he defines concepts and entities isn't always intuitive and sometimes needs a chapter or two in order to flesh out.

    Also, each day has an "action point" at the bottom of the reading, which I found to be terribly unhelpful. They were often things like "speak to leaders of other companies in your industry to find out how they address X.." Obviously not a task which can be accomplished in a day. IMO the daily readings would've been fine without a prescribed "action point".

  • Lori Sullivan

    I'm a huge fan of Peter Drucker and this book did not disappoint. I chose it as my "daily" read this year and found myself looking forward to each morning with his words of wisdom on business and leadership. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a daily read in the year ahead.

  • Lisa Lewton

    This is a daily read for a year, so I’m moving through it slowly. Well written, easy to quickly read each day. Good, practical advise from a business sage.

  • Kotchakorn Kh

    เลิฟ เป็นหนังสือที่เซฟเอาไว้อ่านอีกครั้ง เมื่อมีประสบการณ์ทำงานมากขึ้น อ่านครั้งนี้ได้ทบทวน 30% ได้เห็นอนาคตลางๆ 70%

  • Linda Marie

    My go to try and read a page every work day. One of my best purchases ever!

  • Rod

    I found absolutely no value from this at all.

  • Teerasak

    ใช้เวลาอ่านมาก ไม่ใช่เพราะไม่ดีนะ แต่เพราะเราไม่ตั้งใจต่างหาก
    เราไม่ชนะตัวเองเพียงแค่อ่านตามวันที่ของจำนวนวัน 366 วันต่อปี และก็แค่วันละหนึ่งหน้าเท่านั้นเอง

    เนื้อหาในหนังสือสำหรับการจัดการที่อาจจะตรงกับเราหรืองานในขณะนั้น มีแนวทางปฏิบัติอยู่ท้ายบทให้เก็บไปดำเนินการต่อได้ บางรายการก็ข้ามไปไม่เอามาคิด ผม list ไว้ประมาณ 10% ที่จะนำไปทำ Output ต่อ และเป็นการนำไปลับคมคิดต่อ

    ถ้าไม่มีคนรุ่นเก่า ก็ไม่มีคนรุ่นใหม่ หนังสือเก่าใช่ว่าล้าสมัยแต่กลับเป็นรากฐานที่สำคัญของวันนี้ต่างหาก

    หนังสือจะดีมากถ้ามีดัชนีท้ายเล่มที่สามารถใช้ค้นหาได้เป็นหมวดหมู่ เพราะเนื้อหาเรียงตามวันที่ของปี ซึ่งทำให้หมวดหมู่คละกันเกินไป

  • Abhishek

    A book that I'll probably read every year. Peter Drucker is the absolute master of management science. I only wish I could apply even a few aspects of what he brings together in this compellingly concise take on all topics business and management.
