Rezensionen

Rosenstein has been able to highlight and focus on a unique and overlooked quality from Drucker's vast firmament of ideas: the centrality of human development and self-development. This book will be a blessing to all of Drucker s readers and an enormously important book for all leaders, actually, for everybody!
Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Business Administration, University of Southern California, and author of On Becoming a Leader

Few people on earth know Peter Drucker and his work better than Bruce Rosenstein. Living in More Than One World will be on the top of my book stack. It is a welcome and very personal addition to Drucker s incomparable legacy. Unique among all Drucker books, this one tells you what to do with the rest of your life and how to go about it.
