Coles The Effective Executive in Action: A Journal for Getting the Right Things Done at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A handsome, commemorative edition of Peter F. Drucker’s timeless classic work on leadership and management, with a foreword by Jim Collins. What makes an effective executive? For decades, Peter F. Drucker was widely regarded as "the dean of this country’s business and management philosophers" ( Wall Street Journal ). In this concise and brilliant guide to managing oneself, he looks to the most influential position in management—the executive. The measure of the executive, Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done." This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive. Intelligence, imagination, and knowledge may all be wasted in an executive job without the acquired habits of mind that improve productivity and mold them into results. Drucker identifies five practices essential to business effectiveness that can—and must—be mastered:
Managing time;
Choosing what to contribute to the organization;
Knowing where and how to mobilize strength for best effect;
Setting the right priorities;
Knitting all of them together with effective decision-making
Ranging across the annals of business and government, Drucker demonstrates the distinctive skill of the executive and offers fresh insights into old and seemingly obvious business situations.
