Hello, this is Frank.
How are you doing today?
Are your eyelids getting heavy from the post-lunch drowsiness?
Well then, to help you snap out of it, let’s talk a bit about “The Behavioral Principles of a Professional Manager.”
These are the eight essential habits Peter F. Drucker suggests every manager should cultivate.
1. Ask yourself, “What needs to be done?”
2. Ask, “What is right for the enterprise?”
3. Develop an action plan.
4. Take responsibility for decisions.
5. Take responsibility for communicating.
6. Focus on opportunities rather than problems.
7. Run productive meetings.
8. Think and say “we” rather than “I.”
These principles are also featured in my Practical Business English class, and there’s a lot to nod in agreement with. The key point is that a manager must truly *practice* each of these consistently.
“Real change is brought about by people doing things. Temporary change comes from people merely talking.”
If you want change, don’t talk—act. Drucker emphasizes this point powerfully.
By the way, there’s one thing I’ve been concerned about lately:
The increasing number of young people who continue staying in school well into their 20s.
At first glance, this might seem like a positive trend—more students and working adults pursuing graduate degrees—but it comes with a significant downside.
Drucker puts it succinctly:
—The longer one stays in school, the fewer opportunities one has to make real decisions.
This isn’t to say that higher education is an escape from society.
Rather, once you’ve studied a fair amount, it’s time to step into the real world and sharpen your decision-making skills.
Living in the comfortable greenhouse of academia might protect you from the messy issues of society.
But in the worst-case scenario, people become so focused on acquiring degrees that they lose the ability to respond to real-world problems.
Those who stay in school too long may find, upon reentering society, that they’ve become fossilized.
In contrast, more and more young people today are launching online businesses while still in university—and succeeding.
Many of them feel a rush from the social impact their actions create.
Some even go as far as to drop out and establish real companies.
It’s through action and participation in society that the world changes.
I want you to take this to heart.
Drucker doesn’t have *all* the answers to life, but he certainly provides a lot of wisdom.
His book, “Drucker: 365 Daily Insights” — it might just become a mirror that reflects who you truly are.
