Knowledge
productivity was then considered as the border on achieving management
as Peter F. Drucker’s said during his timne. He argued that someday, the
society will work through their knowledge and not with their backs. It
is good enough that Rick Wartzman clearly shown, with this book, the
ideas and insights of Drucker on his talks and lectures. The book
revealed today’s situation as what Drucker described during his time.
As
quoted from Drucker on the beginning pages of the book, “Knowledge has
to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.”,
the book helped its readers to increase their knowledge, to be more
engaged with the society and to be more productive constantly. The book
explained the ideas of Drucker which is good enough because readers
could easily visualize their current situations and realize what they
are doing with their lives.
With the help of
this book, people will learn, thus increase their knowledge. Wartzman
thought of the book as a “tool” on achieving Drucker’s idea that
knowledge would give big part on achieving proper management in the
future.
Proper
words have been used to explain clearly the points of the author to the
people. Wartzman discussed the explanations of the different lectures
of Drucker very well by extracting the real meaning Drucker has. It is
good that Wartzman organized the lessons per chapter. Another factor
which added to the goodness of the book is its systematic ways of
identifying the essentials from not. Also, he made the book entertaining
to its readers by relating them from the time during Drucker. The book
let its readers feel like bringing the past today and having Drucker as
an adviser or professor on a management class. One part that supports
Wartzman feeding the imagination of its readers is when he briefly
narrated the life of Peter F. Drucker at the beginning chapter of the
book.
History
helps the people on understanding today. It is also good that Wartzman
relate the management of the past and the present. Through his ways of
discussing today’s situation by dealing the past first, the readers can
clearly see the differences of the both times and realize how knowledge
affects the management of productivity the people have.
The
book helped its readers to understand their current situations. It
revealed them some reality points which unfold some questions in their
mind. The book answered why poverty do exists and how management could
cure or help the society today. Good management has something to do with
the improvement of the societal status. As what has been discussed in
the book, it affects the man’s way of thinking, action and response on
the issues (problems) they would encounter. Wartzman can be considered
as good writer as he explained, through this book, the visions and
perspective of Drucker who is known as someone who has significance with
his words.
The
knowledge being taught before such as Peter F. Drucker’s lessons helped
a lot as it serves as a tool of knowing the root cause of the current
issues people experience today. The book reached its goal on touching
human minds by bringing the past to the present.
Nursing Administration
As
a nurse manager, a lot of qualities should be applied on the workplace.
To have a good management of people and good management of
productivity, having the idea and knowledge of the skills about
management is the best tool in order to have a developmental
organization. As a nurse manager, being visionary is a very important
aspect. For planning, relating it with Wartzman, dealing with the
organization’s history would help me to strategic plan for my
organization, making sure that it is process oriented, with purpose, and
future directed. In organizing and staffing, setting goals for my staff
on a daily weekly monthly basis and making sure that they will meet
these goals. In directing, I know that as nurse manager I should promote
teamwork within my staff as we also have to work with doctors,
dieticians, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals. In
evaluation, performance of my staff in the workplace is an important
factor to deal with, making sure that they provide good quality care to
patients should be emphasized. I believe that performance evaluations is
a great tool wherein I as a nurse manager has the opportunity to
connect in a deeper level with my staff, making sure that I deal with
one nurse at a time, for them to have a better understanding in the unit
and for me to have a better understanding on their position and
concerns. Being a good listener, taking suggestions from the staff which
I know will enhance the work quality of my team are factors in building
a good positive relationship with them.
To
sum it up, being a nurse manager should have a vision to make things
better and be committed enough to see that all the organizational goals
are met in a span of time and by having a good management on the
organization and giving emphasis on patient safety and quality care
