Drucker Unpacked

A proliferation of management training tools—often based on unproven theories or the thinnest of thinking—is buffeting management professionals as they face an increasingly complex and turbulent economy. But the most successful organizations know that now, more than ever, they need to get back to the fundamentals of great management.

They need, that is, to get back to where it all began: the teachings of Peter F. Drucker—“the man,” said BusinessWeek magazine, "who invented management"; personal adviser to countless CEOs; and the author of 39 books on organizational effectiveness, innovation, marketing, strategy, and much more.

Recently, CGM collaborated with the Drucker Institute at Claremont Graduate University and the WildWorks Group on a powerful new training tools for managers, which is based on Peter Drucker’s timeless principles.

With DRUCKER UNPACKED, participants actually drive the learning themselves, sharing their personal experiences and creating their own unique insights. Most important, thanks to our transformative process and material, they walk away with real ownership of a concrete plan to turn their insights into results.

We accept the fact that learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change.  And the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn.
–Peter Drucker

DRUCKER UNPACKED is a transformational learning experience conducted by corporations and other organizations in-house, using their own certified facilitators (or, in certain cases, custom workshops facilitated by CGM and its partners). The full curriculum consists of three separate one-and-a-half-day sessions:

• Managing Oneself
• Managing My Team
• Managing for Opportunity

Managing Oneself	Managing MY TEAM	Managing for OPPORTUNTIY
In Managing Oneself, participants actively explore their own DNA as leaders. They discover their core strengths and how to use them more effectively. (Drucker believed that an awareness of one’s strengths, and a willingness to proceed from them with confidence, is the taproot of effective management.) They learn to use their time more effectively and how to set priorities. They dissect how, as managers, they actually do their work and how they best perform. They master Drucker’s seven-part process for effective decision making. (This is, in itself, an invaluable addition to any company’s management culture.) They write what Drucker called “The Manager’s Letter”—a pact between individual managers and their supervisors that clarifies common objectives and how to achieve them. (This powerful tool has been proven over generations.)	In Managing My Team, participants actively explore Drucker’s principles for selecting, empowering, and guiding a group successfully. They learn how to ensure that their teams’ goals are properly aligned with the organization’s overall objectives. They gain new insights into communicating more effectively up and down the chain. They’re taught how to staff from strength and promote effectively. They come to understand how their teams can most effectively assess their results and control their performance.	In Managing for Opportunity, participants actively explore how they, as individual managers, can take their games to a whole other level. They’re taught the importance of bringing in salient information from beyond the organization’s walls to help themselves and their teams reach the pinnacle of success. They examine how to turn social problems into business opportunities—without ever straying too far away from the organization’s core competence. They learn Drucker’s seven sources of opportunity for innovation.

In short, DRUCKER UNPACKED guides managers through everything they’ll need to perform at the highest level—as individuals, as team leaders, and as connectors to the wider world beyond the walls of the organization. To walk this path is to grow exponentially as a manager.
