A guide to help managers prepare for whatever comes over the netIn tennis, the player with the fewest unforced errors usually wins. The same is true in business- all too often, the mistakes that sabotage a career are completely avoidable, if you can anticipate them early enough.Bestselling management writer Jeffrey Krames adopts the metaphor of tennis to show how to spot and sidestep the types of faults that do the most damage. He shows how businesspeople can develop and practice good habits so theyll be ready for an unusually fast serve or wicked backhand.Drawing on stories about famous CEOs like Jack Welch, Robert Goizueta, and Lou Gerstner, Krames shows how to avoid some of the biggest "career killers." His advice includes: Never say, "The ball was out by a mile"; face reality at all times. Choose your doubles partner carefully; bad people decisions (hiring, firing, promoting) can be fatal. Keep practicing your best shot; enhancing your strengths is more effective than trying to fix your weaknesses.

The most accessible guide to the essential ideas of the inventor of modern management.In late 2003, ninety-four-year-old Peter Drucker invited Jeffrey Krames to his home for an unprecedented day-long interview. He spoke candidly about his seminal management principles, his enormous body of work (thirty-eight books over six decades), and the leaders he had advised over the years (including Jack Welch).Krames used the insights he gained that day to create Inside Druckers Brain--a compact guide to the great mans wisdom. Krames had no intention of writing a biography, but rather a book that would showcase Druckers most important ideas and strategies, and explain why they are just as useful today as they were decades ago.Druckers biggest contribution was a mind-set, not a methodology. He focused on prodding managers to ask the right questions, to look beyond what they thought they knew, and to focus on tomorrow rather than yesterday. If anything, this mind-set is more valuable in the digital age than it was in the industrial age.This user-friendly book will help readers grasp all of Druckers key ideas on leadership, strategy, innovation, personal effectiveness, career development, and many other topics.
