A Class with Drucker - Headway | Work on yourself

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE IS INCONSISTENT ■ 95
WORK OUT A ROUGH JOB PLAN WHICH YOU CAN IMMEDIATELY IMPLEMENT
According to The Chicago Tribune, the fact that I recommended treating a
job campaign plan “like a business” in my book was an important new
contribution. Peter always stressed the importance of planning followed
by action. Although we never talked about this aspect of my book, I’m sure
he would have especially supported this idea.
<strong>Drucker</strong> Lesson Summary
There is little question that eliminating any fear of job loss will impact
your own future as a manager and an executive in a very positive fashion.
As I said, I feel that this particular <strong>Drucker</strong> wisdom had more effect on my
future professional life than any of Peter’s other lessons. First of all, it
helped me to understand myself and opened my eyes to concerns I was
unaware of but that others had. It was the catalyst which began my career
writing business books, and it helped me to advance in the other careers I
pursued, in the military and in academia.
