The Effective Executive by Peter F. Drucker

To be an effective executive, it is important to not only possess intelligence, imagination, and knowledge, but also to develop the habits and skills that enable you to turn these attributes into results. According to Peter F. Drucker, there are five practices that are essential to achieving business success: managing time effectively, determining the most valuable contributions you can make to your organization, mobilizing your resources for maximum impact, setting clear priorities, and making effective decisions that bring all of these elements together. These practices can be learned and developed, and by applying them, you can become a more innovative and effective leader in your organization.
