Drucker on Managing Yourself

If you haven’t read Peter Drucker’s article on managing yourself before, it would be a smart move. It’s a classic and one of the ten best Harvard Business Review articles ever.

Drucker covers five core questions:

  1. What are my strengths?
  2. How do I perform?
  3. What are my values?
  4. Where do I belong?
  5. What should I contribute?

Interestingly, John Calvin was one of the key pioneers of “feedback analysis,” which is one of the best ways to discover your strengths.

    Excellent article by Drucker! Thanks a bunch for providing this. It confirms many things that I’ve pondered and analysed for years. Great insights.

    Drucker’s insights will likely prove helpful in setting our three teen-aged sons on their merry way.

    Thanks for all the great stuff you provide us!

    [Particularly appreciated your paper on the Soul!]

    Peace -
    Matthew
