The Effective Executive

The Definitive Guide to Getting the Right Things Done
Book • 2006
In this book, Peter F. Drucker identifies five essential practices for business effectiveness: managing time, choosing what to contribute to the organization, knowing where and how to mobilize strength for best effect, setting the right priorities, and making effective decisions.

Drucker emphasizes that these habits can and must be learned to achieve true effectiveness in an executive role.

The book draws from his extensive experience in organizational management and consulting, offering insights that remain relevant despite the passage of time since its original publication in 1967.
