Managing Oneself

by Peter F. Drucker

An essay turned pamphlet, short enough to reread regularly. Drucker’s advice comes down to knowing yourself well enough to make the right decisions: your strengths, your relationships, and your environment all add up to success or failure. Perhaps the smartest counsel he gives is to start a second career before you’ve completed the first. Less a backup plan than a means of succession.
