I will let you know within the next week what chapters each group will be covering. We then discussed Chapters 8 & 9 from Drucker. Chapter 8 focused on management/business structure. The Stonecutter's Story was used as a basis of this discussion. Give some thought to that story and what it means...you may see it again in the not too distant future.
