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,
and accessible workbook for social sector, nonprofit, and socially
minded business and government leaders can be used as preparation
for a workshop, organizational self-assessment, or as a stand-alone
leadership development tool for individuals looking to develop
themselves and their organizations.
