The Effective Executive
Categories: Business & Money
Management thinker Peter Drucker argues that the measure of an executive is the ability to get the right things done, and that effectiveness is a set of habits that can be learned. He identifies five practices: managing time, focusing on contribution, building on strengths, putting first things first and making effective decisions. Drucker draws on examples from business and government to show how intelligence, imagination and knowledge are wasted without the habits of mind that turn them into results.
