“Dr. Cohen relinquished his role as president several years ago. Even in the final months of his life, he remained engaged and active, not ready to retire. His final book, ‘Be All You Can Be and Get Ready for the Future,’ is a testament to his enduring contribution.” Minglo Shao, Co-founder of CIAM“Bill’s monthly letter always contributed thoughts that were practical and served as reminders to management artisans.”Len Kwiatkowski, Chairman, Board of Trustees, CIAM“In addition to his record of service, Bill Cohen was a mentor, interpreting the teachings of Peter Drucker by sharing anecdotes that guided his subordinates and students while instilling the values of integrity, courage and resilience.”Ron Fogleman, General, USAF. Retired 15th Chief of StaffThis book is a collection of management essays written by Dr. William A. Cohen, Major General, USAF (Ret.), in the final years of his life. Drawing on his military background, professional experience, and education under Peter F. Drucker a

Wisdom That Transforms Lives Twenty-five centuries ago, a man who had once lived in royal luxury walked barefoot across the dusty plains of India, sharing insights that would forever change human history. The Buddha—“the Awakened One”—dedicated forty-nine years of his life to illuminating the path beyond suffering for all who would listen. This first volume presents 36 stories from the Buddha’s life and the lives of his disciples, each revealing the Buddha’s remarkable ability to meet people where they were and guide them toward realization. Readers will discover the Buddha’s insights on the importance of kindness, right speech, right actions, and community living that remain profoundly relevant to our lives today. Each story concludes with “Words of Wisdom” that connect ancient guidance to contemporary challenges. Throughout the collection, we see how the Buddha’s gentle yet powerful approach led others to profound insights, inspiring many to become his disciples and continue their sp

引用德國萊比錫管理學院（HHL Leipzig）教授梅因哈特（Timo Meynhardt）話來說，約瑟夫˙馬齊里洛是彼得˙杜拉克的「合法繼承人」。然而，約瑟夫˙馬齊里洛本身也是一位學者，有他個人的興趣、熱情、貢獻和觀點。本書（他的最後遺作）表達了他作為思想家、作家，尤其是影響了眾多世人的個人特質。《原則：指引人類邁向更崇高的目標》這本書，闡明了約瑟夫對於管理學成為一門博雅技藝的理解和個人的解讀。正如他在〈內容提要〉中所言，這本書旨在提供有關卓越領導力的一些短文。雖然杜拉克在他的寫作中很少使用「領導力」（leadership）這個詞，但約瑟夫在這部著作中欣然接受了這個詞，聲稱領導力是管理學成為一門博雅技藝的基礎。本書證明了約瑟夫多年來處理杜拉克的想法、理念、理論和方法，然後將之應用於他自己的想法、概念、理論和方法。這本書固然是杜拉克資料的綜合體，卻也是約瑟夫．馬齊里洛多年的研究、思維和獨特處理方法的產物。作者利用四年時間彙整出七篇傳記類的短文。這些短文經由長時間孕育而成，在本書中交織成一個卓越領導力的故事。每一篇短文都有一個獨特、鮮明的主題，串聯到這個卓越領導力的故事。這七篇短文固然皆以卓越領導力為主題，但各有不同的背景。林肯（Abraham Lincoln）是典範，是美國培育出來的卓越領導力中最重要的表率；另外六篇短文接棒林肯的故事，各自闡述優質領導力的其他面向。第二篇短文聚焦於打破美國職棒大聯盟的膚色藩籬。布魯克林道奇隊的總經理芮基（Branch Ricky），在一九四六年簽下羅賓森（Jackie Roosevelt Robinson）。羅賓森是傑出的黑人運動員，勇於面對種族歧視的羞辱，忍氣吞聲、絕不還擊。他先在道奇隊位於蒙特婁的小聯盟球隊出賽，後來在一九四六年球季尾聲升上大聯盟。若要創造出更包容、更有效能的社會，我們必須師法羅賓森和芮基的決定。接下來的三篇短文有些類似的特色，雖不像前兩者那麼廣為人知，但各有其強勁有力之處。這三篇分別是：●〈可攜式維生系統〉（PLSS）：一九六九年七月二十九日首次登陸月球的太空人，使用的登月小艇環境控制系統（ECS）。●〈船上男孩〉（The Boys in The Boat）：這篇短文依據布朗（Daniel James Brown）的小說寫就，描述華盛頓大學划船隊勇奪一九三六年柏林奧運金牌的經過。●〈冰上奇蹟〉（Miracle

PREFACEMy father’s escape from―and opposition to―totalitarianism dominated much of his writing. It permeated his beliefs about the empowerment of individuals, and the moral responsibility of organizationsto empower the individuals within their sphere.This collection emphasizes the principles of human choice, dignity; self-worth; and society’s role to achieve these ends, within a fair and equitable system.It was based on this shared belief system that my father and Ming Lo Shao developed a warm friendship―a friendship nurtured and maintained, with mutual respect, for many years until my father’s passing in 2005.This collection demonstrates the timeliness of my father’s writings, and their applicability to some of the critical situations facing our world today, almost 90 years after they were first penned.The Drucker family thanks Ming Lo Shao for his work in creating this anthology, and for his dedication to keeping Drucker’s writings alive and relevant for a new generation.Joan Drucker
