- Drawing from Peter Drucker’s perspective and counsel in Managing Oneself, list on one or two
pages the myriad ways in which Pete Jordan demonstrates in Dishwasher an ability to manage
himself. Use two columns: in the first column, cite specific Drucker points; in the second
column, cite corresponding anecdotes from Dishwasher that illustrate each particular Drucker
point. Separate each pairing with a separate blank line. Strive for maximum quality and
quantity, effectiveness and efficiency. - List ten (10) “Worthpoints” for Pete Jordan from his dishwashing days. Economizing on words,
a worthpoint describes examples of a past action that resulted in a positive outcome,
demonstrating a specific, useful skill. Below is an example of a worthpoint from your
professor’s years at Procter & Gamble (and the underlying skill):
Leased new high mileage-allowance railroad tankcars for use in long-haul shipping
lanes, repositioning older low-allowance cars for short-haul use, thus converting P&G’s
U.S. tankcar fleet from a cost-center into a profit-center. (Analytical skills)
Parenthetically identify the skill demonstrated after each worthpoint, as shown above.
In completing this task, heed Peter Drucker’s advice to “concentrate on [Pete’s] strengths”
and “waste little effort [addressing] areas of low competence.”
Limit the list of ten worthpoints to one page, and number and space the worthpoints in a
visually appealing way. - Analyze the task/work of dishwashing (the very nature of the activity and/or vocation) by
developing four (4) insightful business models, one (1) for each of these frameworks:
Progression
X-Y Axis
Feedback loop(s)
2x2 Matrix
Present two models per page (on top-half and bottom-half) on two total pages. No side
commentary should be necessary: a well-constructed model will speak for itself. Use PPT to
create each model and then paste into your Word file; do not draw the models by hand.
Name each model with a heading. - Role-play: You are the manager of a restaurant at which Pete Jordan has been washing dishes,
and Pete informs you, without notice of course, that he is quitting. What three lines would
you convincingly use to persuade Pete to stay?
List your three lines in an increasing order of desperation (and/or appeal). Separate each line
with ample spacing on a single page. - Meeting of Minds: From 1977 to 1981, Steve Allen hosted an Emmy-winning PBS series,
Meeting of Minds, featuring fully scripted dialogues between three to five historical
figuresgreat achievers, allwho would interact on a variety of subjects in a talk show
format. (Google it.)
For this final task, write a multi-page dialogue between Peter Drucker, Pete Jordan, and
yourself (as host). The exact the number of pages is at your discretionjust be sure to write
enough to impress the reader, but not so much as to bore. (Exert the “Goldilocks Principle” of
neither too much nor too little, but what you deem the “just right” amount.) Treat your effort
as just a sample of dialogue and not a full script.
Title your dialogue. Format as follows, using single line spacing, with 6 pt. Spacing After:
YOUR NAME: Welcome Peter and Pete. This feels a bit like the Mike and Mike show on ESPN.
PETE: What’s that? I don’t watch television.
PETER: It’s an ESPN radio show, Pete. I only know because I monitor such things. As I say:
Culture eats strategy for breakfast.
PETE: My strategy, my rules to live by, boils down to just deciding what not to do.
Bonus opportunity (worth up to 5 points):
Write either (a) two poems, one capturing lessons learned from Peter Drucker’s Managing
Oneself, and a second capturing the spirit of Pete Jordan’s quest to wash dishes in all fifty U.S.
states, or (b) one poem intermixing themes from both Managing Oneself and Dishwasher.
Title your poem(s), and include your name immediately below the title. Choose between the
following options: Epigram, Haiku. Limerick, Sonnet, Free Verse.
If you submit a bonus poem(s), please send an additional second copy of just the poem(s) to
[email protected]separate from the main submission to jhg79@
