Upon Drucker's Death, was reading his book titled The Daily Drucker. The Daily Drucker is for anyone who seeks to understand and put to use Drucker's powerful words and ideas The 16th November piece runs like this:
The pioneers of management a century ago were right : Organizational structure is needed. The modern enterprise needs organization. But the pioneers were wrong in their assumption that there is - or should be - one right organization. Instead of searching for the right organization, management needs to learn to look for, to develop, to test, the organization that fits the task.
So goes the point. And ends with the action point: Reflect whether your organization is transparent, if decision making authority is clear, whether authority is commensurate with responsibility, and whether each person has only one master.
