Worthwhile distillation of the late management consultant Peter Drucker's ideas and philosophy.
I first discovered Drucker in a business class as a graduate student in Library Science. If you just want to dip your toe into management and you don't know where to begin, give this book a try -- it doesn't get technical and jargon-y until about two-thirds of the way through, and you can just skim over what you don't understand.

Jeffrey Krames does a great job. Excellent insight through extended interviews. One of my favorite Drucker books. Very fascinated by "Turning points" in Drucker's life.

Applies Welch's prescient wisdom to today's demandng global environment. Examples reveal how Welch's insights can be used to address new problems in any organization: regardless of its size.
Chronicles the evolution of Welch's leadership thinking. Wherever possible, dates and chronologiy help trace Welch's evolution as a leader and his strategies which transformed grass-roots ideas into companywide innovations.
By adding speed, simplifying the complex, and cutting straight to the heart of the matter, Jack Welch was able to find workable solutions for virtually every challenge.
