This book reintroduces Drucker in a user-friendly way to a new generation of managers who are hungry for guidance and classic ideas. It will be comprehensive in that it will cover the four critical topics Drucker writes about: the Individual, Management, Society and Change. In addition, The Daily Drucker will serve as a doorway into Drucker's body of work by including an annotated bibliography and a thematic index that leads the reader to the entire range of Drucker's work.
The book is being edited by Joseph Maciariello, a management professor and Drucker disciple, who "knows Drucker better than Drucker," according to Peter Drucker(!).
本書直接取材自杜拉克三十餘本著作，將他博大深刻的思想化為366篇精闢雋永的短文，讓讀者可以每日咀嚼大師的智慧之語。

Integrity in Leadership
The spirit of an organization is created from the top.
The proof of the sincerity and seriousness of a management is uncompromising emphasis on integrity of character. This, above all, has to be symbolized in managements ＂people＂ decisions. For
it is character through which leadership is exercised; it is character that sets the example and is imitated. Character is not something one can fool people about. The people with whom a
person works, and especially subordinates, know in a few weeks whether he or she has integrity or not. They may forgive a person for a great deal: incompetence, ignorance, insecurity, or bad
manners. But they will not forgive a lack of integrity in that person. Nor will they forgive higher management for choosing him.
This is particularly true of the people at the head of an enterprise. For the spirit of an organization is created from the top. If an organization is great in spirit, it is because the
spirit of its top people is great. If it decays, it does so because the top rots; as the proverb has it, ＂Trees die from the top.＂ No one should ever be appointed to a senior position unless
top management is willing to have his or her character serve as the model for subordinates.
Action Point: Evaluate the character of the CEO and top management when considering a job offer. Align yourself with people who have integrity.
