Peter Drucker’s books and essays on management topics have a widespread reputation. I first heard about Drucker listening to the guys on Manager Tools and decided to purchase his book The Effective Executive
Drucker discusses what he perceives to be the definition of an executive and the role that they play within an organisation. Druckers key take-away points are that:
- Effectiveness must be learned
- Record and analyse where your time goes
- Focus your vision on contribution
- Make the strengths of yourself and others productive
- Items with the most impact should be undertaken first
