Seven best practices for creating and sustaining value the Peter Drucker way

1. Keep your focus on achievement and leaving something behind of value. If you do that regularly, you will never be finished with worthwhile things to do.

2. Identify and cultivate your unique strengths/core competencies. How can these
strengths make you a more valuable person at work and outside of work?
How can they help make your organization more valuable?

3. Blend reflection and action. Consider what people in your organization, your
personal network, friends and family find valuable.

4. Practice systematic abandonment. You may have to give up things that you
enjoy doing, or that your organization found to be useful in the past, in order
to create new meaning and new value.

5. Get out of the office and into the world. You can become a more valuable person, and recognize important opportunities for your organization, by
developing meaningful leisure opportunities, taking or teaching classes, volunteering or becoming involved in the arts. You’ll meet people who think and act differently from you, and who will broaden your personal and professional perspective

6. Self-assessment questions, applicable for organizations and individuals: What is
Our Mission? Who Is Our Customer? What Does the Customer Value? What

INTRODUCTION Over the years, many libraries have supported education efforts by providing teaching resources, information and referral services. A more active approach has been taken by libraries offering educational classes or one-to-one tutoring programs. Many libraries have outreach programs designed to meet the needs of specific groups of people with limited educational skills. Library resource materials are distributed to the institutionalized, including those in prisons, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and group homes for the elderly and disabled.
