The Drucker Institute's "Drucker Apps" Offers Key Insights for Managing Your Boss, Whether You're Vying to Move Up the Ladder or Simply Trying to Do Your Best
Claremont, CA (PRWEB) July 17, 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 midyear performance-review season--a good time to remember that how well you do your job often depends on how effectively you can help the boss do his or hers. As Drucker has written about the boss-subordinate relationship: "Subordinates do not, as a rule, rise to position and prominence over the prostrate bodies of incompetent bosses." This edition of Drucker Apps includes:
| | - Don't suck up, manage up
- Who's the boss?
- The power of today's subordinate
- Two crucial questions to ask your boss

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, including through an engaging, do-it-yourself workshop-in-a-box called "Drucker Unpacked"; applies Drucker's work to current events (through a regular online column in BusinessWeek by Institute Executive Director Rick Wartzman and through Drucker Apps); 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 leaders and managers to do good while they do well.
