Management

Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices

Drucker's comprehensive encyclopedia of the manager's job.

by Peter F. Drucker

This sweeping volume gathers Drucker's mature thinking into a single reference on what managers actually do. It covers the tasks of management (economic performance, productive work, social impact), the responsibilities that come with authority, and the practices of organizing, staffing, and leading. It remains one of the most complete treatments of management ever written.

As a startup scales past its founding team, founders need a structured map of every dimension of managing an enterprise, and this is the most thorough one available. It helps founders anticipate the organizational problems that arrive with growth before they hit.
