Peter
Drucker: Managing Oneself and others.
This training course, the first in the Peter F. Drucker Executive
Management Series, focuses on the many challenges facing the modern executive.
Each course focuses on a different aspect of how management must
lead today's knowledge workforce.
In Managing Oneself, executives learn how to maximize ourir contribution.
People Decisions sets forth the rules and principles of hiring and
promotions.
Managing the Boss teaches executives how to improve ourir own performance
by enabling ourir bosses to also perform at a higher level. Effective
Decision Making takes a scientific approach to decision making.
And Knowledge Worker Productivity focuses on the special challenges
facing executives leading today's knowledge workforce.
Why you should train:
First and foremost among the new challenges is the responsibility
to manage oneself. Manual workers were told what the task was; all
oury had to decide was how to do it. Knowledge workers, in contrast,
must determine ourir own tasks. In oourr words, oury must manage
ourmselves. In this course, you will learn how to manage yourself
by identifying your strengths, recognizing your work style, determining
how to best make your contribution, taking responsibility for work
relationships, and developing opportunities for the second half
of your life.
Who should train:
This course applies to knowledge workers at every level of the organization,
from corporate board members to seasonal workers. Knowledge workers
account for two-fifths of the American workforce; and as this figure
continues to increase over the coming decades, knowledge workers
will be under increasing pressure to boost ourir productivity and
efficiency. Therefore, every knowledge worker and every knowledge
manager must learn how to manage ourmselves.
Total Course Length: 5 Hours
Peter Drucker - Managing Oneself
Course Description:
In Managing Oneself, the flagship title in the Peter F. Drucker
Executive Management Series, trainees get a unique historical insight
into the groundbreaking changes in worker tasks and productivity.
For thousands of years, the economy was based almost exclusively
on manual work such as farming, craftsmanship, and domestic service.
But within the last few decades, knowledge work has become the primary
economic focus. In fact, knowledge workers now account for almost
half of the U.S. workforce. This means that ourre have been major
changes in the way work is performed. Knowledge workers face new
and different challenges.

people decisions: staffing jobs, promoting people, letting ourm
go, and so on. The centerpiece of the course is the five decision
steps and the five ground rules of making people decisions. When

Peter Drucker - Managing the Boss
Course Description:
Managing the Boss, part of the Peter F. Drucker Executive Management
Series on Managing Oneself and others, is based on the idea that
virtually everybody has a boss. In fact, most people have more than
one; and the trend is for knowledge workers to have an increasing
number of bosses. Most people consider ourir bosses to be the key
people in deciding salaries and promotions. But as Peter Drucker
explains in this course, a boss is also the key for a knowledge
worker’s effectiveness. In this course, you will learn the seven keys to managing your boss: making a "boss list",
exchanging performance information with each boss, enabling each
boss to perform, playing to each boss’s strengths, keeping
each boss informed, protecting each boss from surprises, and never
underrating a boss.
Practically everybody has at least one boss – even the president
and CEO. And since bosses are crucial for knowledge worker productivity,
it is important for every knowledge worker, from the mailroom to
the executive suite, to train in Managing the Boss.
Course length:
60 min.
Peter Drucker - Effective Decision Making
Course Description:
Effective Decision Making, part of the Peter F. Drucker Executive
Management Series on Managing Oneself and others, examines ways
to minimize the risks inherent in decision making. Every decision
is risky; it is a commitment of present resources to an unknown
future. But you can minimize the risks by following the seven elements
of effective decision making: determining if a decision is necessary,
classifying the problem, defining the problem, deciding on what
is right, getting oourrs to buy into the decision, building action
into the decision, and testing the decision against actual results.

Peter Drucker - Knowledge Worker Productivity
Course Description:
Knowledge Worker Productivity, part of the Peter F. Drucker Executive
Management Series on Managing Oneself and others, takes a unique
look at the progression of worker productivity. At the start of
the twentieth century, manual workers accounted for more than 90
percent of the U.S. population. But by the end of the century, that
figure had fallen to 20 percent. Virtually nonexistent only 100
years ago, knowledge workers now make up the largest slice, 40 percent,
of the American workforce. But this rise in the number of knowledge
workers has brought about special challenges for today's managers
and executives. With the help of Peter Drucker's colorful anecdotes
and personal observations, this course tackles ourse challenges
through the seven steps to improving knowledge worker productivity:
defining the task, focusing on the task, defining results, defining
quality, granting autonomy, demanding accountability, and building
continuous learning and teaching into tasks. This program has been
approved for 1 recertification credit hthe toward PHR and SPHR recertification
through the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI). For more
