Managing myself - suggestions from Drucker

As I move from the coveted academic role of managing just myself to the less-desirable administrative role of managing myself and others, I should be reading more about management.

To that end, I actually paid for a book (or used a gift card on a business book, which is almost the same thing).

I picked up Harvard Business Review's 10 Must Reads - The Essentials.

I started with the Peter Drucker piece, since I remember liking his _Innovation and Entreprenuership_ back before graduate school.

"Managing Oneself" reminds us to look at some basic questions: am I a reader or a listener? Do I take in and process information better via spoken word or written word.

I'm not positive I know. I like some things written and other things verbal. I guess, as with most people, it is probably best to do both whenever possible.
