Why read it?

1 author picked Managing Performing Living as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Like Malik, I have divided my book into principles, tasks, and tools.

My principles, tasks and tools are partly based on management thinkers such as Peter F. Drucker and Fredmund Malik. However, especially for the tools, but also for individual principles and tasks, these have been supplemented, expanded, and adapted based on my experience.

Malik's book is inspiring for all who see management as a profession. In the book you will learn how effective and efficient management works.
