Description
The Effective Executive:- A Comprehensive Summary- The Definitive Guide to Getting the Right Things Done
“The Effective Executive,” even though it was written back in 1967, still holds great importance nowadays. One of the reasons for that is that its author, Peter Drucker, is highly regarded as one of the most prominent thought leaders. This is especially emphasized in management. Some even describe Drucker as the “founder of modern management.” The genius of his writing can be seen even today, in the 21st century as we read this book. Even though some parts of the book can seem a bit archaic (for example, the author uses third person singular “he” when referring to executives, since back in 1967 there were very few women who were executives), the book still holds great value to all who strive to become great leaders in management. The book is divided into several chapters andeight practices, which are used for explanation and putting theory into practice. What makes “The Effective Executive” so ahead of its time? What gives the book such a great value? Why was its author, Peter Drucker, called the “founder of modern management?” If you want to know the answers to these (and many other) questions, continue reading this summary!

Good read
5By Hasan VAAs soon as I saw the book title and cover, I didn't think much of it. But as soon as I picked this up, I was totally wrong! Anyone aspiring to be an effective executive should read this book before taking the position!Good examples.
5By pqrainSome language and examples are dated, but the observations and techniques remain completely relevant. For example: - First- and second-level managers nowadays usually don't know anywhere near as much as their people about the job's true challenges and solutions. - It rarely works to try to make a person something that he/she simply is not. Capitalize on people's skills instead of trying to manufacture skills in them. - If a person has a major weakness in his role, don't try to fix the situation by splitting the role with another person who has complementary skills and weaknesses. Both will struggle. Things will most likely worsen.Easy to read.
5By Veronica W HopkinsThis is the one. Easy to read, yet inspiring in its clarity and focus on the importance of ruthless time management, managing to people’s strengths rather than weaknesses, and effective decision making. It is a quick book to read, and subsequent rereads yield new insights. I’m a fairly senior GM/VP and continue to learn from this book.Easy to understand.
5By Erica_LlopezThis book gives you a very clear understanding of the effective executive. The making, learning and training of him or her. The defining of the EE, how to identify, analyze, decide, improve, develop the traits and behavior of this EE. Great many cases in support of giving you the picture and how it affects the organization, process and outcome. I would recommend this to anybody who wants to take responsibility over his or her decision making, critical thinking and leadership knowledge and skills.Amazing read!
