About the book
Consultant and teacher Peter Drucker argues that companies no longer manage the careers of knowledge workers, so each person has to act as their own chief executive. Over a working life that may run some 50 years, he says, people must find their place, know when to change course and stay engaged and productive. His method rests on self-knowledge: finding one's most valuable strengths and most dangerous weaknesses, understanding how one learns and works with others, naming one's deepest values, and describing the work setting where one can contribute most. Drucker wrote 34 books, published in more than 70 languages, and counseled 13 governments.
Lewis Smith, developer of BodyTracker, said it taught him that people take in information in different ways, which showed him that listening works better for him than reading and led him to switch to audiobooks.

Lewis Smith (Entrepreneur & Developer/BodyTracker)
In "Managing Oneself" Peter Drucker talks about how different people have different ways of receiving information. I realised that hearing is much more effective for me than reading and so since then I only really listen to audio books. Incidentally, that book is 100% free on audible and is shorter than most podcasts. Well worth your time.
