<div>　　This transformational tool offers leaders a critical
resource for better understanding their organizations and
themselves, honing their skills to become accomplished long-range
planners and strategic thinkers. By working through the Participant
Workbook, leaders will gain the insight needed to plan for results,
learn from customers and clients, and ascertain how to achieve
extraordinary levels of performance. The Participant
Workbook draws on Peter F. Drucker's The Five Most Important
Questions and is grounded in his management philosophies that
address the critical aspects that make organizations viable and
valuable entities. When leaders answer these questions thoughtfully
and address them with purpose, these questions take one down a path
to organizational transformation and enlightenment.
　　By leveraging these essential questions, the Participant
Workbook challenges leaders to take a close look at the very
heart of their organization and what drives it, giving them a means
to assess: how to be and how to develop quality, character,
mind-set, values, and courage. Drucker's The Five Most Important
Questions lead to spirited discussions and action, inspiring
positive change and renewed focus.
　　Designed for today's busy professionals, this concise, clear,

leadership development tool for individuals looking to develop
themselves and their organizations.

作者简介

　　Peter F. Drucker is known as the "father of modern management," and is a best-selling author of thirty-two books including the best-seller The Effective Executive. He is world-renowned thinker on leadership and management and his work has been featured in every major business periodical. A consultant to senior executives for more than fifty years Drucker passed away in 2005. Since Drucker's death, interest in him, his concepts and his books has only grown. His ideas continue to be as relevant today as they were when he first voiced them.

　　First established as the Peter F. Drucker Foundation, the Leader to Leader Institute's mission is to strengthen the leadership of the social sector. In collaboration with its partners in the private and public sectors, the Institute furthers its mission by providing leaders with the essential leadership wisdom from all sectors and the resources needed to lead for innovation and to build vibrant organizations.
