When Job One is Simply Having a Job
The Drucker Institute's "Drucker Apps" Offers Key Insights for a Time of Rising Unemployment, Whether You're a Nervous Worker, Someone Just Handed a Pink Slip or a Manager Confronted with the Prospect of Laying People Off
Claremont, CA (PRWEB) May 22, 2009 -- The Drucker Institute at Claremont Graduate University today released its latest issue of Drucker Apps, a downloadable collection of useful insights on work and life from the world's foremost expert on organizations and effectiveness, Peter F. Drucker.
Available twice a month, Drucker Apps ties the timeless wisdom of one of the great thinkers and writers of the 20th century to the hottest issues of today, all delivered by the latest in 21st-century technology.
This installment of Drucker Apps was inspired by the continuing loss of jobs during the recession. In April, the U.S. unemployment rate hit 8.9%, a 25-year high. With many workers anxious about what lies ahead, Drucker's assertion that 'the only meaningful job security is the capacity to learn fast" seems truer than ever. This edition of Drucker Apps includes:
| | - Knowledge as job security
- Innovation as the key to job creation
- Stimulating the stimulus
- "Help Wanted" (if you help yourself first)
|

About the Drucker Institute:
The Drucker Institute at Claremont Graduate University is a think tank and action tank whose purpose is to stimulate effective management and ethical leadership across all sectors of society. It does this, in large part, by advancing the ideas and ideals of Peter F. Drucker, the father of modern management.
The Institute acts as a hub for a worldwide network of Drucker Societies, volunteer-driven organizations that are using Drucker's teachings to bring about positive change in their local communities.
In addition, the Institute maintains a digital archive of Drucker's papers; undertakes research that builds on Drucker's writings; offers an annual $100,000 prize for nonprofit innovation; produces curricular material that distills Drucker's decades of leading-edge thinking; applies Drucker's work to current events (including through a regular online column in BusinessWeek by Institute Executive Director Rick Wartzman); presents a slide show exploring the "Responsibility Gap" - society's collective failure to be good and ethical stewards of our resources, people and institutions; and hosts visiting fellows with Drucker-like insights and values.
The Institute is a close affiliate of the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management, which is training the next generation of effective managers and ethical leaders for all sectors of society. To learn more, visit www.drucker.cgu.edu.
