The legendary management consultant Peter Drucker (1909-2005) wrote a lot about how executives and ordinary people can prepare themselves for the future, influence how it takes shape, and find satisfaction in thinking ahead. As Tom Parks delivers this accessible summary of Drucker’s future-oriented writings, his friendly vocal personality adds an element of youthful energy to this collection of insights generated during Drucker’s long career. The author of more than 40 books had a knack for articulating the basic principles that operate in a changing world—in good and bad economies and for individuals as well as for business leaders. Parks shines as he highlights Drucker’s optimism without diminishing his sharp perspective on the challenges that lie ahead. T.W. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
