Book description
A book about management, described by guru Peter Drucker as 'a first
rate as an introduction for the non-manager and especially for the
beginner, but equally excellent as a rounded, complete, and
comprehensive `refresher course' for the most experienced executive.'
Both a beginner's guide and a bible for one of the greatest social
innovations of modern times: the discipline of management. Leading
business editor Joan Magretta distils the wisdom of a bewildering sea of
books and articles into one simple, clear volume, explaining both the
logic of successful organisations and how that logic is embodied in
practice by management. Newcomers will find the basics demystified. More
experienced managers will recognise a store of useful wisdom and a
framework for improving their own performance. In general, the book
defines a common standard of managerial literacy that will help all of
us to lead more effectively. A book about management, described by
