I recently finished writing and publishing my 17th book, “Bold and Gentle: Thriving Wisely in an Age of Exponential Change.” A friend asked, “Got any more books in you?”
Yes, I’m sure I do, though I don’t know precisely which book I’ll publish next.
Peter Drucker was a wise and prolific business thinker, perhaps the greatest in the 20th century. Here’s a picture of all the books he published:
At age 65 Peter Drucker had written only one third of his books. When he was 86 years old Jim Collins asked him which book he was most proud of. “The next one!” he replied. He published 10 more after age 86 and had a manuscript in development when he died at age 92!
Let’s remind one another that the view out the windshield is larger and better than the rear-view mirror. If you’re here, you have something to contribute, some way to leave a legacy.
