Ben Tiggelaar

Peter Drucker was one of the most influential management authors of the 20th century. In addition to that he was a lecturer and advisor for many years.

Peter Drucker was an outright moralist. He believed managers and professionals should not live as unto themselves, but contribute to 'the greater good.'

An organization should contribute to society. And its managers and professionals should contribute to the organization.

Peter Drucker wrote prolifically about a wide range of topics. But most of his writings can be linked to one of three themes.

- The first theme: the functioning of organizations and the role of the management profession;

- The second theme: the personal effectiveness of managers and professionals within organizations;

- And the third theme: the development of society as a whole and the role of
organizations in that development.
In this audio program we´re going to explore these three themes.

Presenter Bill Hoopes discusses the ideas of: Stephen Covey, Peter Drucker, Eli Goldratt, Michael Hammer, Kaplan & Norton, Philip Kotler, Henry Mintzberg, Tom Peters, Michael Porter, and Robert Quinn.

The Ideas of Peter Drucker About Management: MBA in One Day - Management Classics

Eliyahu M. Goldratt was born in Israel in 1948. He studied physics and philosophy at the universities of Tel Aviv and Bar-Ilan. After studying he spent a couple of years working in
the US and the UK, and still is leading a firm that developed production planning software, among other things.

Ever since Eli Goldratt wrote his book The Goal in 1984, he has enjoyed international renown as business consultant and management guru. In The Goal he introduced his Theory of Constraints, which since then he has worked out in more detail for a variety of disciplines, including IT, project management and marketing.

Goldratt has sold over five million books in more than 20 languages. He has also produced instruction videos explaining his ideas and has even written a play about them.

One of Goldratt´s favorite pastimes was provoking managers. He thrived on making fun of the latest ideas on business administration and management.
In an interview he once said: "My approach is mainly common sense. But this means that what goes on in most companies is common nonsense. A lot of management ideas are bullshit. Strategy is long-term bullshit and Activity Based Costing is very precise bullshit. But it´s still bullshit."

Goldratt died in 2011.

Dr. Michael Hammer had his big breakthrough in 1990. In that year´s summer issue of the Harvard Business Review he published his first major article on Reengineering.

It’s title was: Reengineering Work: Don't Automate, Obliterate...

After this he wrote several books on the subject. The first one, Reengineering the Corporation, is still considered his biggest hit. Some 2 million copies of this book were sold worldwide in 30 different languages.

The book even gained Hammer a position on Time Magazine´s list of most influential Americans, alongside famous folk like Stephen Covey, Oprah Winfrey and Calvin Klein.

More importantly, the subject of reengineering gained a position in almost all of the world´s business schools. Nowadays students at virtually every business school in the world learn about tilting organizations, process-centered operations and the redesigning of business processes. Many of these ideas were developed by Michael Hammer and all of them were, at least, popularized by him.

"If you can´t measure it, you can´t manage it", is a favorite expression of Kaplan & Norton.

In 1992 Kaplan & Norton introduced the Balanced Business Scorecard, to use the full name for their invention. In an article in the Harvard Business Review the Balanced Scorecard was primarily described as an instrument for improving business performance.

The Balanced Scorecard did start out as a means of clearly describing the performance a company should be delivering on various fronts and then accurately monitoring that performance. In practice, however, it also turned out to be an excellent tool for converting
strategy into concrete action and then for monitoring the strategy´s effectuation.

Philip Kotler´s own personal vision on marketing is not easy to pinpoint. In his books he has collected countless insights, models, theories and cases, most of which come from other researchers.

Kotler´s particular strength is that he presents these many insights in an extremely structured and accessible manner, helping readers to put them to practical use.

If anything, Kotler´s vision is characterized by a strong emphasis on reasoning from the perspective of customer needs. “Marketing is not the art of finding clever ways to dispose of
what you make. Marketing, says Kotler, is the art of creating genuine customer value.”

Kotler teaches us that important marketing choices – such as: who is our target group and which distribution method should we use – cannot be made on the basis of a gut feeling, but
should be grounded in thorough research and solid analysis. In interviews he often stresses this analytical, scientific approach. One of his complaints is that most marketing professionals are not nearly as good as they should be at numbers and finances.

Philip Kotler´s outstanding achievement is that he has made marketing into a serious field of study, a real discipline with a solid theoretical base and plenty of scope for research,
measurability and controllability.

Henry Mintzberg is a creative thinker. A man who likes to take a different slant on things. For over thirty years he has been firing holes in many popular management conceptions and filling up the gaps with his own ideas.

In Mintzberg´s view, most approaches to management, organization and strategy are theoretical and artificial.

For instance, for decades the prevailing view on management was that it all comes down to analysis and planning. Many of the recommendations put forward in management books were based on this assumption. But Mintzberg´s observational research proved that the daily business of a manager is really very different. Managers do a lot of things, but formal, by-thebook
planning & organizing is something they seldom get around to. Which means, says
Mintzberg, that if you really want to help them improve their performance, you need to offer recommendations in other areas, too.

Tom Peters firmly believes business can be cool and work can be fun. He believes it´s possible to build organizations where people can be themselves, pursue their dreams and work with a passion. The magic word in all of this is entrepreneurship.

Reading Tom Peters´ books is like being flooded with examples, anecdotes and random ideas that all revolve around this single notion.

In Peters´ vision, a business can only flourish if its employees act as if they are all independent entrepreneurs. They are partly responsible for this themselves, but the organization must provide the right context.

For instance, by working with small units with a high degree of autonomy: independent little groups that can serve their own customers from beginning to end.

Obviously, this causes inefficiencies, such as overlap and internal competition. But it also dramatically raises service quality and employee involvement.

Michael Porter is basically occupied with just one topic: Strategy. But let´s face it: strategy is so broad and deep you could spend a lifetime studying it. Which is precisely what Michael Porter has been doing. For several decades, in fact, he has been studying and writing about nothing else.

There are many definitions for strategy, but most of them – including Michael Porter´s – center on the long-term direction of a company. Porter says: “Sound strategy starts with having the right goal. And I argue that the only goal that can support a sound strategy is superior profitability. If you don't begin with that goal and go after it pretty directly, you will quickly be led to actions that will undermine strategy. If your goal is anything but profitability -- if it's to be big, or to grow fast, or to become a technology leader -- you'll hit problems.”

Change and growth. Those are the constant factors in the work of Robert Quinn. In many of his books, Quinn challenges you to critically review your present ideas.

For one thing, Quinn challenges us to reflect on the management models we´re accustomed to using in the field of management and organization. He says that one management model is not necessarily better than another. It´s just that one particular model is likely to work better in a certain situation than others. This means we have to move from an either/or approach to a both/and approach to management, Quinn says. The broader the management repertoire we have at our command as leaders, the more effective we will be, he tells us.

Management Classics - Box with 10 audiobooks: Insights and advice from the most important management gurus.

Dr. Stephen R. Covey is the bestselling management author of recent years. Several American presidents have consulted him. He has shelves full of awards and honorary doctorates. And
according to Time Magazine he has been one of the world´s most influential people for many years.

His books are not just about management. Covey wants to teach us lessons about all kinds of leadership. Even leadership in our private lives.

Stephen Covey was born in 1932 in Salt Lake City, USA. He studied at Harvard, among other places, and graduated at the Mormon Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah – a small university town with a population of just over 100.000, and 10 golf courses. He stayed on to lecture at the Brigham Young University for many years. He and his wife Sandra still live in Provo today. They have 9 children and over 40 grandchildren. Covey is a Mormon. In his books he´s quite outspoken about his faith; his writings are clearly anchored in traditional Christian ethics.

Stephen Covey was not widely known until after 1989, when his book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People was published. The book is a description of the habits, or characteristics if you like, we should all develop if we want to be more successful and, above all, happier in life. Covey addresses both our professional and our private lives.

Millions of copies of this book were sold worldwide. In fact The Seven Habits is the bestselling management book ever. There are different takes on the exact sales figures; by some estimates over 17 million copies were sold. The book has been translated into more than 30 languages and marketed in over 75 countries.

The Seven Habits gained Covey the status of a real guru, which means he also gained a devout following. Some firms, including Unilever, IBM and AT&T actually require some of their staff members to be trained by Covey´s institute.
