For decades, Peter F. Drucker was widely regarded as "the dean of this country's business and management philosophers" ( Wall Street Journal). In this concise and brilliant work, he looks to the most influential position in management - the executive.

So why do so few nonprofits participate in Google Ad Grants, and why do existing grantees struggle so much with maximizing its value to grow their organization? What's the catch?

Many nonprofit organizations run into various legal and tax problems if and when they don’t take the right steps when opening and filling their paperwork with their state and Federal government.

Difficult to understand
I downloaded format 2, but with Peter's thick accent it was very difficult to understand a word he was saying. I don't recommend downloading this in an audio. Perhaps the book itself is better.

great advice, bad audio
Yes, the audio quality is terrible. Peter Drucker is perhaps the best authority on leadership, especially for non-profits. This books is not an abridgement of his classic work on non-profits, but a series of interviews that he gave on topics covered in his book. The interviews are facinating and full of wonderful information. It is a shame the audio quality is so poor.

Managing the Non-Profit Organization
I was a bit miffed when I started listening to this audio book. I recall a previous edition that read the entire work but with a reader who was easy to understand. Drucker cannot be understood. The quality of this work is horrible. I would ask the Audible people to drill down into your archives because I do recall an earlier audio book that was much easier to understand. Also, your description of the work fails to state that it is an INTERVIEW about the title not a reading of the title itself. Shame on you!!

Very Unclear
This audio book is terrible! The speaker is so difficult to understand with his heavy accent that you have to keep rewinding to understand what he is saying. It would be easier and take less time to just read the book. I couldn't even tell you if the content is good, because I can't understand what the content is!

Good book, Fair recording
The info in the book is outstanding, but the recording quality is just not there. I understand the desire to hear it all "straight from the author," but when the author speaks with a heavy accent and doesn't enunciate well, it makes it hard to mine information from the audio.

Why abridge this wonderful SHORT book? Why oh why?
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Decades ago I listened to the complete books-on-tape version. I bought this without noticing it was abridged. Some of the best parts were cut out, including my favorite story of young Drucker (about 14 years old) having a favorite teacher ask his class what they would like to be remembered for. Years later they all remembered that moment and how it had changed their lives.
Drucker's voice is wonderful. He is profound and insightful.
Why didn't they include the whole thing? All they had to do was copy it what already existed. If they had included the whole book, I would have given it 5 stars across the board.
Arrrgh!
What did you like best about this story?
Drucker's wisdom and gentle-gravelly voice.
Any additional comments?
Private sector people should read this too. Much of it applies to them, especially the parts about self-development and motivation. Especially as philosophies like Lean and Agile cause corporate cultures in parts of the private sector to resemble the cultures of non-profits.

This is NOT an audio book! (A fact Audible should have made clear!) It is a series of canned, scripted and awkwardly performed "interviews." The content is good and useful, but the delivery is not good.

Good but hard to understand
I bought the paperback version of this book to follow along with the reading too but this didn’t follow the book and was hard to tell what section of the paper back I was in on the audio. I understand that this is Drucker’s actual voice but it was very difficult to understand his speech. Between his tone & the softness of some of his voice in areas I chose just to read the book without the audio over the top. Great book, poor audio. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To low to slow
How can anyone sit and be bored trying to get out of a book what you hope to learn as the voice is so low you cannot hear what they are saying even on 100% volume and spoken so low they sound like they are sleeping and mumbling to themselves. How frustrating!
