I have been working on my MBA, based on the nonprofit management track. The class I was taking on board management was not really challenging me, so I looked for something that might be applicable for the class as a supplement to what we were reading (the book for that class wasn’t bad, it was just that I had already read it).So I came across this. Drucker is a name in management, and that he had written on nonprofits was reason enough to grab it up and see what made him a name.Overall, I was not disappointed. The book is in a format that made it easy to read bit by bit even if it made it easy to put down. It is divided in sections and Drucker has his own section, but he also brings in people who are working in the field to interview and for me these are the places of most learning. Drucker is able to look at the people he is talking to and make amazing syncretic insights that seem self-evident but really are not.It is a bit dated. The book sprang from a tape series, so there is this weird disconnect where in the book he is referring to the tapes and that was not elided in editing. Who knows what tapes are now, right? But as someone who is working in the nonprofit field, there is nothing that sticks out as irrelevant to the world of the third sector in the second decade of the twenty-first century. What Drucker excels in is aphorisms. Meaning that you will want to pull the page out and highlight a sentence and put it on you wall. Forget looking at the sentence level, since it it a coherent whole that confronts you, and must be reckoned with.
