Peter Drucker is one of America's foremost consultants on business management. He has written over twenty books on the subject, including Managing For Results, The Effective Executive, and Management: Tasks, Practices, Responsibility.

Professor Drucker has also done some thinking on the use of management in the local church. He has done consultations on management questions for several religious organizations and has spoken about management and ministry to divinity students at the School of Theology at Claremont.

But we think that, with some judicious translation and editing, you can distill a lot of valuable information on the stewardship of time for the church leader.
