Hello Wally,

Thank you for your kind words.

I’m certainly always glad to be of service! Merry Christmas – I hope many others will join you in giving themselves, and their friends and colleagues, this fine book as a gift this season.

Thanks, as always, for your visit, your wonderfully-grounded observations, and your own work and writing.

One thing I love about your blog, Jim, is that you harken back to valid, but forgotten management thinkers like Mary Parker Follett. Now you’ve accomplished two more helpful services. I was fortunate that I discovered Peter Drucker by reading The Effective Executive soon after it came out. I was able to read many of his other works as they came out during my career. By pointing out this book, you’ve given today’s managers the opportunity to discover Drucker’s thought. You’ve also given me the perfect gift to give myself for Christmas. Thanks!

Hi Rob,

I agree – it seems to be unique, and I think helps a great deal in understanding the insight that underlies each idea – a nice, effective touch.

Thanks for sharing that – I hope it will encourage more people to pick the book up.

Hello Raymond – I certainly share your hope that the new generations of managers will be able to benefit from Peter Drucker’s ideas and insights. This book may be a help in that regard.

Thanks for your visit!

Jim, I am reading Inside Drucker’s Brain right now. What I enjoy is how the author frames much of Drucker’s thinking in light of his personal history. I find it so much more interesting in that context. I would second your recommendation to all your readers.

A few days ago, I read a post on another blog where the blogger asked if Drucker was lost on the newest and upcoming generations of leaders/managers. I certainly hope not – there is a ton of wisdom in those books.
