Peter Drucker is an author and management GURU I have been interested to learn about. This past weekend I picked up a book at the local library called The Daily Drucker. This compilation of Drucker writings is filled with "365 days of Insight and Motivation, for Getting the Right Things Done".
I opened to a random page today and was struck how timeless his writing and teachings were, and still inspire today.
"THE CHANGE LEADER: The most effective way to manage change successfully is to create it. One cannot manage change. One can only be ahead of it. In a period of upheavals, such as the one we are living in, change is the norm....In a period of rapid structural change, the only ones who survive are the change leaders. A change leader sees change as an opportunity. A change leader looks for change, knows how to find the right changes, and knows how to make them effective both outside the organization and inside it. To make the future is highly risky. It is less risky, however, than not to try to make it. Anticipate the future and be a change leader." - Peter F. Drucker
How about YOU, are you a change leader or happy with your current situation, present station in life. There are a lot of change leaders out there. Whether you believe in Obama or McCain, change is coming. Henry Paulson championed BIG change last week and the financial world we live in continues to evolve. How are you adapting to change?
I'll be continuing my daily Drucker diet and plan to evolve my thinking. Change is good.
