So, in preparation for Moshidora, I thought I’d post something about Peter Drucker. Managing Oneself was first published in 1999 in the Harvard Business Review. It was the first article I read from Drucker’s works. I’d like to think of this as the most basic place to start, since to manage others you also have to know how manage yourself first. If you’re about to graduate college or are in the early part of your career, it might help you to read a few of Drucker’s ideas. As for me, I really wish I’d come across this piece from Drucker in college. (Alas, I was an engineering student back then and management topics were the furthest thing from my mind.)
But first, who the hell is Drucker anyway?
