The Daily Druker is a collection of excerpts from Drucker’s books and articles spreading over a 366-day diary. The reader can read each day and possibly reflect on his/her life.

The excerpts cover many topics in the life of any professional. The book discusses economics, politics, leadership and management, innovation, motivation, entrepreneurship, lean, quality, etc. from which the reader can pick and choose then use.

As any other reader I favored some topics over others. I found days talking about leadership and management, knowledge workers, and quality very interesting and insightful.

Although the book gives great advice on many topics, its writing is not very enjoyable, and it sometimes is confusing. It is difficult to get thru the entire book at once, although I did that. It’s better to read it in chunks per topic. It can be used as a reference rather than a one unit to read and reflect from. ( )

This is an excellent book. I read it through, as I do for several books. However, this has several gems of wisdom that simply cannot be ignored.
I don't generally read management books, and I have never read Drucker. However, if I had read Drucker in my younger days I would have probably been a wiser person than I am today.

When I read this collection, I was amazed that one person could have such a prodigious output of excellent work for so many years.

Read it, savour it and then read again from time to time. ( )

Simple perspectives on business management that can be transposed to life in general. ( )

Just a great book to have on the nightstand. You can awake and read a daily passage about business, Motivation, innovation, management, effectiveness, technology, etc. For me it is a great jump start for the day when I read a quick passage. I find myself grounded, and flooded with ideas. Highly recommend. My favorite Drucker book aside from "Post Capitalist Society". ( )
