More executives not only need this on their bookshelf, but need to apply the principles herein.

The first half of this book was pretty good. I found valuable information and also valuable management wisdom. I appreciate every piece of information that the author gave to us.
After the "30 weeks" chapter, the book started to take another direction. Most of the ideas referring to religion and churches.
I personally believe religion and churches are not the right examples to use for effective management.
Religion is about fear & love. Everyone loves and is afraid of the almighty God.
People are emotional-subjective when comes to anything related to religion. So, that's why churches seem to be better at managing. Once again, there is a powerfull emotional reason behind it!
Business management is about power, motivation, resistance, is about vision, creativity, and leadership.
My conclusion is that the author had a lot of deviations from the subject, and the whole thing was disappointing for me.

Lucky guy to have met with Peter Drucker and learned all this stuff.
Blinkist quotes:
effective managerial concentration boils down to one key principle. You should always concentrate on tasks that require the least effort and generate the greatest amount of productivity.
There are two ways you can achieve this.
First, focus on your core competencies and strengths. Or as Drucker succinctly put it, “Don’t major in the minors.” If your employees have a strong innovative streak, urge them to focus on developing cutting-edge technologies, not on churning out low-end consumer goods.
And second, abandon projects or products before they become unproductive. You’ll simply waste too many resources keeping a declining product afloat; you really should be focusing your efforts on the next big thing.
The second crucial managerial skill is information literacy. This is the ability to understand what raw data is actually telling you about your business.

I took a while to read this book, initially wanting to go through it weekly. But in realised I couldn't keep up at it going through it weekly and decided to read it all through in 2 weeks.
Very good nuggets of management advice, certainly worth your time going through. As there's a lot of reflecting to do, this is best done with another liked minded person, someone who can process the teachings with you.
A good bit of interviews with Rick Warren and Bob Buford, both whose books I've read. It's insightful to see how Drucker had influenced the way they did their works and vice versa.

Great year long journey with the father of modern management
Peter Drucker is commonly called the father of modern management, and this book helps to demonstrate why that title is appropriate. As I have been reading this book each week for the past year I have been reminded of many of the great management and leadership principles that Drucker faithfully taught. I only wish I would have quickly read the book and then come back each week to reread the weekly chapter.

I liked that this book samples much of the content from other books, letters, HBR articles, etc. I cannot imagine going through this book over an entire year, though.... This seems good as a refresher/intro to Drucker and a decent source of inspiration for further reading. There were two or three items in particular that really resonated with me, for sure.

Major cringe. Could not finish.

Хорошая книга для руководителя, но все портит краткость изложения каждой мысли Друкера. Это сборник его мыслей составленный другими людьми. Для манагеров читать обязательно.

This book is more engineered to a CEO position. A lot of talk about social leadership, doing the right thing. Not what I expected

Didn't find much value in the book. I recommend you directly read instead the effective executive written by drucker himself
A year with drucker
- Managers are responsible for the big goal
- Know where to focus your efforts and resources

You should read it as they recommend it: go directly to the themes connected to your challenges. As expected, there are some good stories by Drucker. So, it's not a waste of time and money.
