The Effective Executive Peter F. Drucker 1967 HC DJ

Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Notable Features:Hardcover with dust jacket.About the Book:The measure of the executive, Peter Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done." This usually involves doing what other people have over- looked as well as avoiding what is unproductive. Mr. Drucker identifies five habits or practices as essential to effectiveness, and these can be learned. In fact, they must be learned, as scales must be mastered by every piano student regardless of his natural gifts. Intelligence, imagination, and knowledge may all be wasted in an executive job without the acquired habits of mind that convert them into results.One of the practices is the management of time. Another is choosing what to con- tribute to the particular organization. A third is knowing where and how to mobilize strength for best effect. Fourth is setting up the right priorities. And all of them must be knitted together by effective decision- making.How these can be developed forms the main body of the book. The author ranges widely through the annals of business and government to demonstrate the distinctive skill of the executive. He turns familiar experience upside down to see it in new perspective. The Effective Executive is full of surprises, with its fresh insights into old and seemingly obvious situations.About the Author/Editor:Peter Ferdinand Drucker (November 19, 1909 – November 11, 2005) was an Austrian American management consultant, teacher, and author. His ideas helped shape modern management theory. He introduced important concepts like "management by objectives" and "self-control," and he’s known as a champion of management as a serious field of study.Drucker’s books and articles looked at how people organize themselves in business, government, and nonprofits. He is one of the most well-known and influential thinkers on management. His writings predicted big changes in the late 1900s, such as the rise of privatization, decentralization, Japan becoming an economic power, the importance of marketing, and the growth of the information society, where lifelong learning is essential. In 1959, he came up with the term "knowledge worker" and later believed that improving their productivity would be the next big challenge for management.Condition: Dust jacket has a bit of scuffing along edge.
