We live in an age of unprecedented opportunity: with ambition, drive, and talent, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession regardless of where you started out.



But with opportunity comes responsibility. Companies today aren't managing their knowledge workers' careers. Instead, you must be your own chief executive officer. That means it's up to you to carve out your place in the world and know when to change course. And it's up to you to keep yourself engaged and productive during a career that may span some 50 years.



In Managing Oneself, Peter Drucker explains how to do it. The keys: Cultivate a deep understanding of yourself by identifying your most valuable strengths and most dangerous weaknesses. Articulate how you learn and work with others and what your most deeply held values are. Describe the type of work environment where you can make the greatest contribution.



Only when you operate with a combination of your strengths and self-knowledge can you achieve true and lasting excellence. Managing Oneself identifies the probing questions you need to ask to gain the insights essential for taking charge of your career.



Peter Drucker was a writer, teacher, and consultant. His thirty-four books have been published in more than seventy languages. He founded the Peter F. Drucker Foundation for Nonprofit Management, and counseled thirteen governments, public services institutions, and major corporations.

管理类经典，架构有了，但内容不足。还可以再展开。

拿到手时吓了一跳，太小了！全英文，还没看……好好学英语

太小了希望来本精装本

If you're like me, you were recommended this book by Tai Lopez. If that's the case, why are you reading reviews? (I.e., don't listen to just anyone.)

This "book" isn't actually a book. It's a reprinting of an article published in Harvard Business Review January 2005, which I realized I had laying around the house! I read that first, then when I opened this book was rather shocked to realize it was an exact reprint stretched from 10 magazine pages to 50 in 24+ pt font size.

Frankly, this book isn't a book by the standards you probably have. As other reviewers have lamented, Drucker mentions something important then just moves on, giving no steps on how to go about figuring it out. What you get is a barebones explication of managing oneself, and it has a few good insights. The semantic point aside---that it shouldn't be called a book---you will probably learn a few pointers about managing oneself. But you will be greatly disappointed if you expect there to be much more than an outline of what you should do in general.

Here's what it covers:
What are my strengths?
How do I perform?
What are my values?
Where do I belong?
What should I contribute?
Responsibility for relationships
The second half of your life

You'll notice that they are mostly questions. The article really seems to just be a (guided) impetus to think about certain important things in your life. The shortness of the book is really a reflection that YOU have to do the work of figuring out the answers.

If you have ever heard about Peter Drucker then you must know that he is the Man in the management Industry.

He has written many books about management and he knows what he talks about when he suggests ideas for Ceo of thousands of employees. In this book he outlines the principles that will make you a happier and more fulfilled man in your own lifes,here are some of them:

1. Manage to find your strenghs
2. Manage to find the areas of your Life in which you bring result easily and always at top levels.
3. Manage to find your Life values (These in the end will become the most important things)
4. Manage to prepare for your second job for when you will go to pension and make it fantastic!

So check this book out! It will be the only book for you to understand the concept of management.

Managing Oneself is a short, sweet and straight to the point pamphlet. Per the title, It discusses how one should know their strengths and capitalize on it. One very useful piece of advice Peter Drucker offers is understanding how you learn. Are you a reader or are you a an active listener? He goes on to explain how you can be successful in any endeavor if you simply know how you learn. Drucker gives examples of past presidents that failed woth reporters because they were listening to a set of questions when they should have been reading them beforehand. This was my first Harvard Business Review book and I will definitely purchase more works by them. All in all, very good read and a book you will give to your inner circle.

The site says that there are 72 pages in the book, but there are only 55 actual pages that need to be read. This is a small book and a quick read. This is just a summary book. I attached the picture of the paperback that I read. Here is the outline:

Lesson 1 : What are my strengths?

Feedback Analysis

1. Concentrate on your strengths
2. Improve them
3. Find what things are inhibiting your strengths

Lesson 2: How do I perform?

1. Am I a good reader or a listener? - Books or Audio books
2. How do you learn?

Try to focus on your strengths instead of improving your weaknesses.

Lesson 3: What are my values?

It is difficult to find a workplace with the same values as ours. We need to find a workplace where both the company and individual values align with each other

1. What are my strengths?
2. How do I perform?
3. What are my values?

Lesson 4: Where do I Belong?

We need to find answers to the questions (What are my strengths? How do I perform? and, What are my values) asked in lessons 1 thru 3 to figure out where do we actually belong. This is needed to convert from an ordinary worker to an extraordinary worker.

Lesson 5: What should I Contribute?

What tasks should I spend my time on?
What should my contribution be?
What results have to be achieved to make a difference?

A plan/goals should be made for no more than 18 months and still be reasonable clear and specific. Results should be visible and measureable.

Lesson 6: Responsibility for Relationships

People are as much individuals as you yourself are. To be effective working with the other individuals, we need to know the strengths, the performance modes and the values of the coworkers.

Lesson 7: The Second Half of your Life

1. Start a career in a different organization.
2. Parallel Career - Stay in your current job and start a parallel work either full or part time.
3. Start another organization, may be a non-profit one.

It doesn't worth $7 in no way.

I couldn't believe how small this book was. At first I thought I ordered an excerpt of original book.
It's a brochure of 60 little pages with large font (for kids??). Perhaps it was meant for novice readers.
No evidence of the statements at all, other than personal opinion. An archaic fixed mindset is fully pervading the article (it's really an article not a book). Such a limited way of presenting.
The last portion of the article which covers middle life crisis was interesting, but still extremely short.
