Why you should read A Class With Drucker
William Cohen studied with management guru Peter Drucker while working toward his Ph.D. in executive management at Claremont Graduate School (now the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management). The lessons he learned from Drucker, he says, were life-changing, and in this book he aims to transmit to his readers the great man’s wisdom. In fact, Drucker took a somewhat different approach with his students from the one in his books and articles. Thus, Cohen builds upon and reinterprets many of Drucker’s insights and concepts. getAbstract particularly recommends this book to managers who are already Drucker fans and want to learn more – the book is really more like a CD of unreleased recordings by a great artist of the past than like an album of covers by a lesser artist.
