His lessons and wisdom on the topic of leadership—the central element of management—are in constant demand, yet he wrote little under that actual subject heading.  \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDrucker on Leadership\u003c\/i\u003e, William A. Cohen explores Drucker’s lost leadership lessons—why they are missing, what they are, why they are important, and how to apply them. As Cohen explains, Drucker was ambivalent about leadership for much of his career, making it clear that leadership was not by itself “good or desirable.” While Drucker struggled with the concept of leadership, he was well aware that it had a critical impact on the accomplishment of all projects and human endeavors. There is no book from Drucker specifically dedicated to leadership, but a wealth of information about leadership can be found scattered throughout his 40 books and hundreds of articles. Drucker’s teachings about leadership have saved many corporations from failure and helped guide others to outstanding success.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMany of the leadership concepts revealed in this book will surprise and perhaps shock Drucker’s followers. For example, who would have thought that Peter Drucker taught that “leadership is a marketing job” or that “the best leadership lessons for business or any nonprofit organization come from the military”?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten for anyone who values the insights of the man whose name is synonymous with excellence in management, \u003ci\u003eDrucker on Leadership\u003c\/i\u003e offers a deeper understanding of what makes an extraordinary leader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword ix\u003cbr\u003eby Frances Hesselbein\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Peter Drucker and Leadership 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe Leader’s Role in Shaping the Organization’s Future 9\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The Fundamental Decision: Determining the Business of the Organization 11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The Process: Creating a Strategic Plan 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Look, Listen, and Analyze: The Information the Leader Needs 33\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Methodology: Developing Drucker-Based Strategies 45\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Taking Action: What It Takes to Implement Your Plan 55\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Two\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eEthics and Personal Integrity 63\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Drucker’s Views on Business Ethics 65\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Effective Leadership and Personal Integrity 75\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 The Seven Deadly Sins of Leadership 85\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Effective Leadership and Corporate Social Responsibility 97\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 The Responsibility of a Corporation: First, Do No Harm 107\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Three The Military: Drucker’s Model Organization 117\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Leadership Lessons from Xenophon 121\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Training and Developing Leaders 133\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Promotion and Staffi ng 145\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 The Heart of Leadership 157\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Leadership for Upper Management 167\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Four Motivation and Leadership 179\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 Leadership Style as a Motivator 181\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e17 Motivating to Peak Performance 191\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e18 Charisma as a Motivator 201\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e19 The Volunteer Paradigm 211\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Five The Marketing Model of Leadership 223\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e20 Applying Marketing to Leadership 227\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e21 Applying Segmentation to Leadership 235\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e22 Applying Positioning to the Organization and the Leader 245\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e23 The Role of Infl uence and Persuasion on Strategy and Tactics 255\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEpilogue Drucker’s Legacy 265\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 267\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Author 283\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 285\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Business \u0026amp; management [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Business \u0026amp; management\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Business%20\u0026amp;%20management%20%5BKJ%5D%22\"\u003eKJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52516604936472,"sku":"9780470405000","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780470405000.jpg?v=1786691410","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/drucker-on-leadership-new-lessons-from-the-father-of-modern-management-hardback-9780470405000","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
